Taco Seasoning (Replaces Packet)

Instead of paying to get a packet of taco seasoning, make your own. It will save you at least a dollar or so over the price of name brand. Here's the recipe:

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp. chili powder
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp. cumin
  • 2 tsp. parsley flakes
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic salt or garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. oregano

Directions

Put all ingredients in small container with lid and shake until combined. Add to 1 pound of browned ground beef. Add 3/4 cup water and bring to a simmer. Let meat cook down until juice is mostly cooked up in meat. Serve with whatever recipe taco meat is called for.
