Set your Bradley Smoker settings to the directions listed above.
Bake taco shell as directed on the package.
In a bowl add the raw ground beef or turkey. Using the seasoning mix above, stir and mix until the meat is seasoned thoroughly. Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the ground meat and mix one last time.
Place raw ground meat in a cast iron skillet and place into the Bradley Smoker for about 90 minutes (1 ½ hrs.). Remove the meat once the internal temperature reaches 165ºF (73.9ºC).
