Taco Seasoning

Just like the packets, but better.

1 tbsp. Mexican-style chili powder
1/4 tsp. each garlic power, onion powder, red pepper flakes and dried oregano
1/2 tsp. each smoked paprika and kosher salt
1 tsp. each black pepper and cayenne pepper*
1 1/2 tsp. cumin

* Omit cayenne for mild spice

Mix all ingredients together. If storing, use an airtight container.

If making tacos, this is good for 1 lb. ground beef. Brown and drain meat, add 1/2 cup water, add seasonings and stir well, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer till liquid is gone and meat is nicely coated in seasonings. This could also be used on chicken.
