Here’s the recipe for taco seasoning that we use in our home. It’s really good, and doesn’t include MSG!!
- 1 tsp. minced dried onion
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp dried red peppers
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp oregano
Simply mix all ingredients together, and store in an airtight container. You can use it just like the store-bought packets of taco seasoning mix: Add 1 cup of water and your homemade taco seasoning to 1 lb cooked ground beef in a frying pan; simmer until thickened.
Oh this look great! I’m definately going to try this.
I just want to say that I’ve been subscribed to your blog for a couple of months now, and I just LOVE it! Thank you for sharing all your experiences, tips, and advice!
Is this mix enough for just one pound of ground beef or ground turkey?
Yes Stacey, this is just for one pound. It’s equivalent to those “Taco Seasoning” packets you’d buy at the store. Sometimes you can get away with using half of one of those packs per pound of meat, but obviously the flavor won’t be as strong.
Here’s a mix that makes 12 servings:
1/4 cup red pepper flakes or chili powder
1/4 cup ground cumin
1/4 cup oregano
2 Tbs cayenne pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
1/4 cup onion powder
3 Tbs salt
Mix together, store in an airtight container for up to six months. To use, add 2 Tbs. to one pound of ground meat. Mix well & then cook. (Since this recipe doesn’t call for cornstarch you don’t add the water. You simply blend the seasoning into the raw meat & then cook.) I like this recipe because often I only want to cook a 1/2 lb. of meat, like when I’m also serving refried beans or black beans, etc. so then I only have to use 1 Tbs. of the mix.
Have a blessed day!
