Taco Seasoning Mix
I like to make my tacos this way, but if you want to make your own packets up, try this.
- 2 tsp instant dried onion
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp crushed dried red pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
It's easy to lay out small pieces of aluminum foil, one for each packet you want, then just measure out the ingredients one at a time assembly-line style and place each on a piece of foil.
When you're done, fold each piece of foil tightly and story in a dry place. Place them all in a container or bag and keep in your pantry.
Use one packet for each pound of ground beef or ground turkey, browning the meat, draining the grease, then adding 1/2 cup water and one seasoning packet. Simmer 10 minutes, stirring now and then.
