2. Add the beef and cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until browned. Tilt the skillet and skim off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.
3. Stir in the cumin, oregano, chili powder, salt, chilies, beans, and tomato. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring once or twice.
4. Meanwhile, heat the taco shells according to package directions. When the taco filling is cooked, transfer to a serving bowl. Serve with small bowls of the cheese, sour cream, cucumber, and lettuce. Let everyone stuff his own taco shells, allowing about 1/3 cup of beef filling per taco, and garnish as desired.
