Why are homemade tacos (made by a novice) typically not as good as even Taco Bell’s?

Before you tell me how Taco Bell is gross or uses fake meat etc this is not really what I’m here to discuss, substitute any sort of basic restaurant or food cart taco.

My first instinct is it is the shells. Grocery store taco shells are just not good, is there a way to improve in this arena?

Here is the taco meat recipe I’ve been using:

1/4 lb of chuck 1 tbsp tomato paste Seasoning: chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika salt and pepper.

Sauté Chuck breaking up, stir seasoning in water until absorbed then pour into skillet with paste, reduce to med low simmer until thickened then serve.
