# Steps:
01 -
Cut tortillas into circles if necessary, then shape each tortilla around a cone mold. Heat oil and fry each cone until golden and crisp. Allow to cool to retain shape.
02 -
Brown ground beef in a pan. Add chopped onion and minced garlic; cook until softened. Incorporate paprika, cumin, chili powder, tomato paste or sauce, and water. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until thickened and flavorful.
03 -
Fill each crispy cone with the beef mixture. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese to slightly melt from residual heat. Top with sour cream, diced tomatoes, chopped onions, fresh cilantro, and sliced jalapeños.
# Tips:

For a lighter version, bake the tortilla cones brushed with oil at 356°F (180°C) until crispy. Substitute beef with chicken or beans to create a vegetarian alternative. Serve immediately to maintain crispness.
