Homemade Taco Seasoning

By pammy_k

I inevitably had to run to the store for packaged taco seasoning whenever I needed it because I just don't always stock it. I usually double the recipe. That way I always have some on hand. It also tastes better than the pre-packaged mix. There are no fillers or weird preservatives. :)

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon seal salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In small bowl, mix all ingredients and store in airtight container.

Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of this mixture plus 1/2 to 3/4 cup of water to one pound of cooked meat. Simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until there is very little liquid left in the pan.
