| 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. |
