To make taco meat:
Brown and drain 1 lb ground meat of choice. Wipe skillet of excess grease. Return meat to skillet sprinkle spice mix (approx 2 1/2 Tb) over meat, add 1 1/2 c. water. Simmer 20-25 minutes to let flavors mingle and water cook out/ thicken into a sauce. (When I make taco meat, I usually add a chopped onion to the meat as it cooks and then some salsa while the seasoning simmers. It adds a some veggies AND enhances the flavor.)
