Make Your Own Taco Seasoning

We've been making this Taco Seasoning for a few years now and it's just too easy and delicious not to share! Not only is it much cheaper to make your own taco seasoning but you can also control the sodium, which is what makes those taco seasoning packets just slightly unhealthy. 

You can tweak this recipe to your own tastes by making it more or less spicy or by adding more garlic, salt etc. As long as you add the Chili Powder, it's hard to mess this one up! We adapted this recipe from Plain Chicken. 

Taco Seasoning
 (per 1 lb ground beef)
1 Tbsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

Mix spices and stir into cooked ground beef. Add 1 cup water, stir, and let simmer over low heat until water has cooked down.

**Quick Tip** Make a few batches of this seasoning and store them in sandwich baggies for quick use later.

Salsa is the perfect companion to your Tacos!
