In a small bowl, stir together sour cream, Southwest seasoning, and a squeeze or two of lime. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, ovenproof pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, tossing occasionally, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add taco spice and ¼ cup tomato paste (we sent more) to pan. Stir until fragrant and wellcombined, about 1 minute.
Add beef to pan, breaking up meat into pieces. Cook, tossing occasionally, until browned, 4-5 minutes. Season with plenty of salt and pepper. Stir in 2 TBSP water, then sprinkle cheese over top. Transfer pan to broiler and broil until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with scallions.
While everything’s broiling, wrap tortillas in a moistened paper towel. Microwave on high until warm and soft, about 30 seconds.
