    Season it. Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and water. Stir well and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the seasoning is fragrant and the beef is evenly coated.

Note

Midge's Tip:

For an extra-creamy taco bowl, give the cottage cheese a quick whirl in the blender before serving. It turns silky smooth and makes a delicious stand-in for sour cream!
