Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, and break it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks.
  2. Cook the beef until it is no longer pink and lightly browned, keeping the pieces small and even.
  3. Stir in the onion powder, black pepper, salt, coriander, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, chili powder and cornstarch until the spices coat the beef evenly.
  4. Add the tomato sauce and beef broth and simmer the mixture for a few minutes, stirring now and then, until the beef is juicy, saucy and slightly thickened.
  5. Open each small bag of chips carefully, leaving the chips whole inside the bag.
  6. Spoon the warm beef directly into each bag and top it with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, pickled jalapeños, chopped onion, cilantro, sour cream, hot sauce and avocado or guacamole, choosing the toppings you like, and eat from the bag right away.
