    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.

    Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to let it brown.

    Stir in the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned, about 8-10 minutes.

    Drain excess fat if necessary, then add diced tomatoes, cumin, and chili powder. Simmer for about 5 more minutes.

    While the beef mixture is simmering, warm the taco shells in the oven according to package instructions, usually about 5 minutes.
