Homemade Taco Seasoning

Print

Ingredients:

3 1/2 Tbs chili powder
4 1/2 tsp cumin
2 tsp paprika
3 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust your level of heat!)

Directions for seasoning mix:

1)  Mix and store in an airtight container.

Directions for making taco meat:

1)  Brown 1 pound ground beef until no longer pink.
2)  Drain fat.
3)  Add 1-2 TBS homemade seasoning, to taste.
4)  Add 1/4 cup water.
5)  Mix thoroughly; simmer for 5 minutes.
6)  Enjoy!

Note:  This is a great freezer recipe.  Make your taco meat following the above recipe; let cool.  Transfer into quart-size freezer bags.  Remove as much air as possible.  Freeze!  These packets can be thawed quickly for an easy lunch or quick dinner!

  5. Hi Ellen,
    This looks like a great idea, just make several batches and put it in the freezer then it is ready to go. I really like the idea of the Homemade Spice. Hope you are having a great week end and thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
    Come Back Soon!
