For the Filling:
- 1 pound ground beef or shredded chicken
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin

For Assembly:

Step 1: Cook the Filling
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once the meat is nearly done, stir in the chopped onions and garlic. Cook until the onions become soft and translucent.
Step 2: Add the Seasoning
Sprinkle in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together so the spices coat the meat evenly. This step is where the flavor really builds.
