Instructions

Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into crumbles until fully cooked.
Drain the excess fat from the skillet, leaving about a tablespoon of oil.
Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper; cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
In a small bowl, mash together the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and chives.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir the herb butter into the beef until completely melted.
Simmer for 3 additional minutes on low heat to allow flavors to meld.
Spoon the beef into warmed taco shells and add preferred toppings.
