Taco seasoning


Prep Time

Prep Notes

I like to use this on 1 lb ground turkey, but it works great on ground beef as well!  I like to add about 3/4 of the seasoning to the meat with 1/4 cup water, then simmer 3 minutes, taste it and decide if you want the rest of the seasoning added.  Adjust water as needed.

Ingredients

Combine the following:

1 and 1/2 Tbsp chili powder

3/4  Tbsp sugar

1 Tbsp cumin

1.5 tsp garlic powder

1.0 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1/2 tsp crushed dried oregano

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Brown the turkey or beef with 1/2 cup chopped red onion in a skillet.  Once brown, add in mixed spice seasoning per above and 1/4 cup water.  ( see note above about holding back on the full amount of seasoning until taste test).  Serve on large leaf butter lettuce or on corn tortilla wraps with toppings of choice.
