Instructions

Mix chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin and salt in a small bowl. Stir in water and set aside.
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.
Add seasoning mixture to mushroom-meat mixture and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook an additional 3-5 minutes.
To assemble, add about ¼ cup of the 50/50 mushroom-meat mixture to the bottom of the taco shell. Layer with cheese, tomatoes and lettuce, and other favorite garnishes.
