Make your own taco seasoning!! It is simple, quick, cheap and useful for almost anything. I use it on steak fajitas, tacos, Spanish rice, chicken and much more. It is so much more convenient (and tasty) than the commercial packets.
In a bowl, mix together: 12 teaspoons chili powder 8 teaspoons paprika (not the spicy kind) 8 teaspoons ground cumin 6 teaspoons onion powder 2 teaspoons garlic powder (not salt) ¼ teaspoon cayenne powder 2 teaspoons oregano 1 tablespoon beef bullion granules Mix well and store in a tightly covered jar. Can be used as a dry rub or if you are making taco's, brown the meat and drain well. Add 7 teaspoons of this mix and ½ cup water to a pound of ground beef. Stir well and simmer until liquid evaporates. NOTE: This is not super spicy, but it is very full flavored. If you like more heat, you can always add more cayenne. Approximately 7 teaspoons of this mixture will season a pound of ground beef. NOTE: If you don't want to make a whole jar of seasoning...just divide this recipe by 4.SEE VIDEO TUTORIAL >>
