Ingredients

Cheese	1 cup, shredded
Ground Beef	1 lb (450g)
Lettuce	1 cup, shredded
Salt	1 tsp
Tortillas	8 small or 4 large

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon.
Cook 7–8 minutes without stirring too much — let some pieces get a little browned and crispy. Drain excess fat by tilting the pan.
Season with salt, a pinch of pepper, garlic powder, and cumin. Stir and cook 2 minutes more until fragrant.
Taste and adjust seasoning. The beef should be boldly seasoned — it will taste muted once inside a tortilla.
Warm tortillas in a dry skillet 30 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.
Fill each tortilla with beef, shredded cheese, and shredded lettuce.
Serve immediately while the beef is hot and the tortillas are warm.
