Recipe Introduction


For many families, tacos are a wonderful treat one that children and adults enjoy, a fairly inexpensive meal with just a few ingredients, and minimal preparation. What I didn't know for many years, during the early stages of my family, was that homemade taco seasoning is just plain better. While packaged seasoning mixes may be simple, quick and convenient, it only takes a few minutes more to measure out the ingredients you need, and the results are definitely noticable.



List of Ingredients






2 teaspoons instant minced onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon crushed red peppers
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
For Tacos
1 lb. ground beef
1/4 - 1/2 cup water
lettuce, shredded
cheddar cheesed, shredded
onion, chopped
tomatoes, chopped
soft and/or hard taco shells
hot sauce (optional)

Recipe



Serves 4
Combine seasoning ingredients in a small bowl or container and set aside.
For Tacos
Brown ground beef and drain off fat. Add water and dry seasoning mixture. Bring to a boil and let simmer for 20-25 minutes. If mixture gets too thick before cooking is complete, add a small amount of water to thin. Serve on soft or hard taco shells topped with your favorite vegetables and sauce.
