3. Season the beef mixture with taco seasoning to taste and stir well until evenly coated. Keep warm.
4. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a smooth roux.

7. Continue cooking for a few minutes until the sauce is creamy, hot, and well combined.
8. Warm the taco shells according to the package directions if needed.
