Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon.
Cook the ground beef, stirring occasionally, until it is browned all over, about 8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet if needed.
Add onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the beef.
Stir the spices into the beef until evenly coated.
Pour in the water to moisten the mixture and stir well.
