Grated cheese
Sliced jalapeños
Chopped tomatoes
Shredded lettuce
Sour cream
Guacamole
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add the
oil. When it begins to shimmer, add the onion, and cook
until softened and starting to brown, approximately 5 to
7 minutes.
Add the garlic, and cook for a minute or so to soften,
and then the ground beef. Cook until the beef is
starting to brown, stirring and chopping with a spoon to
break up the meat, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Pour
off excess fat, leaving only a tablespoon or two in the
pan.
Set oven @ 325°F/165°C.
Add the chile powder, cumin, salt, pepper, cornstarch,
paprika and red-pepper flakes, and stir to combine. Add
the broth, stir, bring to a simmer and cook uncovered
until the sauce has thickened slightly, approximately 4
to 5 minutes.
As sauce cooks, place taco shells on a sheet pan, and
toast in oven until they are crisp and smell nutty.
Serve a few tablespoons of meat in each taco, along with
whatever toppings you like.
