Ingredients

1 Teaspoon chili powder

1/4 Teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 Teaspoon onion powder

1 Teaspoon ground cumin

1 Teaspoon salt

1/2 Cup water

1 Pound of your favorite mushroom variety, finely chopped (suggested: crimini or white button)

1 Pound lean ground beef

12 crunchy taco shells, warmed

2 Cups grated cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

2-3 large tomatoes, diced

Instructions

  1. Mix chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin and salt in a small bowl. Stir in water and set aside.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped mushrooms and ground beef and cook thoroughly, about 7-10 minutes. Carefully drain excess grease if needed.
