<h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>
Begin by crushing your Nacho Cheese Doritos into small pieces. You can do this by gently smashing the bag with your hands or using a rolling pin. Make sure the pieces are fine enough to adhere to the taco shells.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>
Cook the ground beef over medium heat in a skillet until it's fully browned. Drain any excess fat.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>
Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to the beef, followed by the water. Stir well and let simmer for about 10 minutes or until the majority of the liquid has evaporated and the meat mixture is thick.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>
While the meat is simmering, preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Place the taco shells on a baking tray and warm them in the oven for about 5 minutes. This will make them slightly crispy.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>
Brush the outside of the warm taco shells lightly with water. Carefully roll them in the crushed Doritos crumbs until they are well-coated on the outside. The moisture will help the crumbs stick to the shells.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>
Assemble the tacos by spooning the meat mixture into the shells, followed by the shredded lettuce, cheese, and diced tomatoes.
