Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground meat until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Add smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper, stirring to coat and develop rich aromas. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes until fragrant and slightly thickened.
While the meat cooks, wrap the tortillas in a damp cloth and microwave for about 30 seconds until warm and pliable. Keep them covered to prevent drying out.
Use tongs to carefully place each tortilla on a serving platter, keeping them soft and warm. This makes them easier to fold and less likely to tear.
Spoon a generous amount of the cooked meat onto each tortilla, spreading it slightly toward the center. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese so it melts slightly into the hot filling.
Add a dollop of sour cream on top of the fillings, spreading it gently to create a ghostly face or spooky shape. Drizzle hot sauce or salsa over the top for a fiery touch.
Decorate each taco with sliced olives for eyes or other spooky features, and scatter shredded lettuce across the top for texture and a pop of color. Use a sharp knife to create small shapes or faces for extra fun.
Serve the Halloween Tacos immediately, allowing everyone to enjoy the crispy edges and vibrant decorations before the toppings soften or melt.
