- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup cheddar or shredded cheese

- Season with paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through (about 8–10 minutes).
- Prepare the Tortillas
- Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for 10–15 seconds to make them soft and pliable.

Tips for Extra Flavor
- Add avocado slices or guacamole for creaminess.
