Taco Spice Mix
- Minutes to Prepare:
- Number of Servings: 20
Ingredients
1/4 cup Chili Powder1/4 cup Cumin Powder1 tablespoon garlic powder1 tablespoon onion powder1 teaspoon Oregano leaf (or oregano leaf powder)1 teaspoon paprika1 teaspoon ground pepper(I listed all these ingredients in the nutrition info. Who knew all these spices had calories?!)
To make: Put all in jar and shake well or mix in a food processor until mixed. Store in an airtight jar for up to six months. Makes approximately 3/4 cup. To use: sprinkle on ground beef or chicken as you would any store bought taco seasoning. 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon is about the same as 1 packet of store bought taco seasoning (used to season 1 pound of meat).
Note: recipe creator (see website listed above) says you can add 1/4 cup salt to this mix. Then you would use 3 tablespoons per pound of meat. I left the salt out. You can decide how much salt you need when you make your food and count it separately in the nutrition information.
Serving Size: Use 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon per pound of meat. Also add about a half cup of water per pound of browned meat.
