Taco Seasoning - Great Tex Mex Seasoning for Tacos, Burritos Etc

Try this seasoning instead of using the packets of taco seasoning. Makes a great gift too! This not only saves you money it tastes better too! You control the amounts- feel free to adjust to fit your taste. If you like it hotter you can add some cayenne or up the chili powder! Enjoy!
28 Teapoons
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons oregano, preferably Mexican oregano
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons onion flakes (minced dried onion) or onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, omit if you like it mild and increase if you like it spicier
- 1 teaspoon salt, adjust for your taste the salt helps to keep it fresh when storing
Directions
1
Mix all spices together.2
Store in airtight container. Will keep for 6 months to a year.3
7 teaspoons of this spice mix is the equivalent of one 1.25 oz packet of store bought taco seasoning. This recipe makes the equivalent of 4 spice packets.4
To make tacos- mix 7 tsp (or 2 T and 1 t) to 1 lb ground meat that has been browned and drained of fat. Add 3/4 cup water and stir to blend. Cook til water has evaporated.

Even my boyfriend, who usually complains about taco seasoning, thought this was good. Left out the cumin and oregano, we do not care for them. Another recipe added to my book, thanks!

This is great-- easy to make with ingredients we normally have in the cupboard. I used about 35 grams of this mixture (same amount that comes in the prepared packets) to cook up just over a pound of ground meat. Thanks!
