NaBloPoMoNoProFoNo #19: Taco Tuesday part quatro #RECIPE - taco seasoning

I generally find it annoying when bloggers talk about how something is sooooo easy to make you'd have to be craaaaazy to buy it pre-made.  BUT, if I were ever going to say that myself, it would be about taco seasoning. (Although I still won't say it because: annoying!)

When I make ground beef tacos, I generally make 2 lbs of meat at once and immediately freeze half to have around for taco-mergencies.  Which happen.

Taco seasoning mix
Adapted from here

For a single serving batch

Combine the following:

1 T all-purpose flour

1 t garlic powder

1 t cumin

1 t paprika

1 t chili powder

1 t onion powder

1 t salt

1/4 t cayenne pepper

To make tacos, brown 1 lb of meat and drain.

Stir in seasoning mix.

Add 3/4 cup water.
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer.
Simmer for about 10 minutes or until whenever dinnertime is.
 

To make up a bulk batch of mix (enough for 12 lbs), the proportions are:
 

3/4 cup flour

1/4 cup garlic powder

1/4 cup cumin

1/4 cup paprika

1/4 cup chili powder

1/4 cup onion powder

1/4 cup salt

1 T cayenne pepper

To make tacos, follow above directions but using a heaping 3 T of the mix per pound of meat.
