Taco Seasoning

I must admit that just out of convenience I do buy the bulk Taco seasoning at Costco or Winco but I have in the past made my own before. It actually does have a better flavor than the bulk varieties, but I suppose my laziness wins out. I thought I would post the recipe. This originally came from Allrecipes, posted by Bill Echols here:


Taco Seasoning

1 tablespoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon cornstarch (My addition)

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

Easy peasy - mix together and store in an airtight container. When using, use approx. 3 Tbs for each pound of beef. Also, you should add about 1/2 cup water or so to the seasonings create more of a sauce for the meat.
