Make Your Own Taco Seasoning
I buy my Taco seasoning in the big containers from Sam's Club. It's definitely cheaper than buying the packets at the grocery store, and there isn't much chance of running out. Still, it doesn't hurt to have this recipe on hand, just in case.
Taco Seasoning
- 1 T chili powder
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
- 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp. oregano
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1-1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1 tsp. black pepper
- In a bowl, combine all ingredients.
- To make tacos, use half the batch of seasoning with 1 pound ground beef and 1/4 cup water.
Even though I have plenty of Taco Seasoning, I'll probably have to try this just to see how it turns out. (and if my taco seasoning has some of the ingredients mentioned in the related article (must read label), I may have to start making it all the time!)
many recipes in the world that there is just no excuse for using one twice if it's not something you really enjoy. Now, whether the rest of the family enjoys them or not is another story, but I try to add special notes about who likes what.
