Taco Seasoning

I have NO idea why I bought those little 89 cent packets of taco seasoning at the store for years, when this recipe makes the exact same stuff for pennies! Once you make this, you will never buy taco seasoning at the store again.


Taco seasoning
---------------
1 tbsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes - OR - 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 & 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper

In a small bowl, mix all spices together. Store in an airtight container or baggie. Prepare meat as you usually do for tacos, burritos, etc. and use approximately 2 tbsp. of seasoning and 1/3 - 1/2 cup water per pound of ground beef or chicken or to taste.
