Mix the ground beef with 1 tbsp chili powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp oregano, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1.5 tsp cumin, and 1/2 cup water.

Stir and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the beef is well-coated with seasoning.

In a separate skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté until soft.
