Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix
by Jes Mostek
serves: 4
|
|
|
|
| |
Classic Taco Seasoning Mix. This will translate the same as those expensive packets that you can buy in the store, without the MSG. |
| Ingredients: |
| |
2 T. |
|
corn starch |
| |
4 tsp. |
|
salt |
| |
1 T. |
|
sugar |
| |
1 T. |
|
onion powder |
| |
1 T. |
|
garlic powder |
| |
4 tsp. |
|
paprika |
| |
4 tsp. |
|
cumin |
| |
1 tsp. |
|
black pepper |
| |
1 tsp. |
|
cayenne |
| |
1 T. |
|
chili powder |
| |
1 tsp. |
|
oregano, optional |
| Directions: |
| |
Mix cumin, paprkika, black pepper, cayenne (red pepper), chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder (or twice as much dried minced onions), and corn starch in an air-tight plastic bag or container. Shake to mix.
Store in this container or transfer to a spice jar. This'll keep on the shelf for 6 months (or longer, but the spices will start to loose their potency).
To use in a recipe, 2 T. mix = 1 store-bought packet.
For making standard taco meat: brown 1 lb lean ground beef in a medium skillet over medium-high heat; drain any excess grease. Add 1/2 cup water and the seasoning mix. Reduce heat and simmer 2-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens (cook longer if you have too much liquid). Makes filling for 8 to 10 tacos.

vanilla extract |
| |
3 T. |
|
honey |
| Directions: |
| |
Combine yogurt, cinnamon, and vanilla in a small bowl. Stir well. Mix in honey until well-combined (if your honey has formed any little crystals, warm it up in a microwave-safe bowl for 10 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until crystals disappear).

| Ingredients: |
| |
2 cans |
|
garbanzo beans, drained |
| |
2 tsp. |
|
Taco Seasoning Mix |
| |
1/4 c. |
|
olive oil (plus more for pan) |
| |
1 pkg. |
|
flour tortillas |
| |
2 c. |
|
shredded cheese |
| |
2 |
|
avacados, diced |
| |
1 cup |
|
salsa |
| |
1 cup |
|
sour cream |
| |
|
|
sliced black olives, optional |
| |
|
|
shredded lettuce, optional |
| Directions: |
| |
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix Garbanzo Beans with spices and oil. Cook Garbanzo Beans in oven at 350 for about 10-15 minutes. Smash beans with a potato masher or a fork.
Pour a small amount of oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. When oil ripples, it's ready to use (but watch it-- it'll smoke and burn if you don't use it immediately). Place a tortilla in the bottom of the pan, top with about 1/3 c. shredded cheese plus a couple spoonfuls of smashed garbanzo beans. Smooth out fillings, and top with a second tortilla. Heat for a couple of minutes, until bottom tortilla is golden-brown, then flip and repeat for second side (cheese should be melted).
Transfer quesodillas to a serving plate and cut into wedges with a pizza cutter. Top quesodillas with avacados, salsa and sour cream
