Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds, freshly toasted and ground
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons hot smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Put all the ingredients in a small jar and shake to combine. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month. To use, break up a half pound of ground beef in a wide skillet over medium heat. As soon as it starts to sizzle, sprinkle on a tablespoon or two and continue stirring. As moisture cooks out of the meat and simmers, it will be thickened by the cornstarch. Makes 1/4 C + 2 T.
