4. Once it looks browned and firm, carefully lift it off with a spatula and place it over the horizontal wooden spoon to form a taco shell. It will harden into place. Continue to make the rest of the shells.

 

 

 
5. In the same pan, cook the ground beef for about 4 minutes, stirring often.

 
6. Add onion and taco seasoning and cook meat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
