Instructions
- 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through with no pink remaining, about 7–8 minutes, reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Drain off excess fat.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt to the beef. Stir to coat, then pour in the water and cook, stirring, until the liquid is absorbed and the spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
