Taco Seasoning

One more way to save money and know what you are feeding your family. Make your own taco seasoning! No preservatives or modified anything. You control what goes in it.
It is so easy to make and saves you money!

Here is the recipe I use.

2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp chili powder
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 t onion powder
1/2 t red pepper flakes
 1/2 t oregano
1 t paprika
1 Tbsp cumin
2 t pepper


You may want to add salt. We are not big on salt in our house and we like it just fine without any.

I add about two Tbsp per pound of meat with a little bit of water, a few splashes of Tabasco and a can of southern ranch style beans. SOOO yummy!!

If you like a dryer taco meat without a bit of a 'sauce', just omit the flour and water.

You could also substitute the flour for ground rice. Just run a Tbsp through a coffee grinder until it is a powder. You would only need to use 1 Tbsp of rice instead of 2 Tbsp of flour.  

You can also use this mix for chili. The only difference is the chili to cumin ratio. So I just use this mix and add more chili to taste.

Store in tupperware or an old spice bottle.
