Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the shredded cheddar cheese in small circle piles on the baking sheet, leaving space between each pile.
Bake the cheese for about 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted into round, flat shells. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
While the cheese shells are baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the skillet and add cumin, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Once cheese shells have cooled enough to handle, gently shape them into taco shells by draping them over the handle of a wooden spoon or a similar object.
To assemble the tacos, fill each cheese shell with the cooked beef mixture, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
