Recipe Introduction


Much better than packaged taco seasoning mix!





List of Ingredients



• 2 tsp. instant minced onion
  
• 1 tsp. chili powder
  
• 1/2 tsp. crushed dried red pepper
  
• 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
  
• 1 tsp. salt
  
• 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
  
• 1/2 tsp. instant minced garlic
  
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  






Instructions



1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and blend well. Spoon mixture onto a 6-inch square of aluminum foil and fold to make airtight. Label as Taco Seasoning Mix. Store in a cool, dry place and use within 6 months.
   
2. To make tacos: Brown 1 lb. lean ground beef in a medium skillet over medium-high heat; drain the excess grease. Add 1/2 c. water and the seasoning mix. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
