Taco Seasoning Mix
From member kkey22850: Enjoy. This replaces the Taco Seasoning Packets from Ortega, etc. This is my modification from an old Make A Mix Cookbook I’ve been using for more years than I want to admit to.
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp Chef Paul’s Magic Salt Free Seasoning
• 1 tsp chili powder (adjust to the desired heat)
• ½ tsp crushed dried red pepper (adjust to the desired heat)
• ½ tsp instant garlic powder
• ¼ tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp turmeric
Combine all the spices. Use as you would those taco packets from the supermarket.
This will spice 1 lb. ground meat.
I usually brown the meat and 1 chopped onion. Add the spice mix and ½ c water.
On KP duty last weekend I cooked up a big batch, divided it into appropriate 1-serving size and froze it. Will use over shredded lettuce with chopped tomato and chopped onion as a taco salad. I tried this for my morning snack and it was tasty but some fresh salsa would have enhanced the .?experience
