There's ton's of recipes out there, and they're all different, coming in different portion sizes, with different ingredients, and different spice ratios. I've tried to use and compare as many mixes as I could before deciding what worked best for me. Plus, I've come up with a recipe for both a bulk and individual size! How nice of me :-D
So, without further ado, I've included teaspoon measurements if you'd like to halve the recipe:
bulk recipe taco seasoning:
1/3 C. (16
tsp.) Chili Powder
1/4 C. (12 tsp.) Paprika
3.5 T. (10 tsp.)
Cumin
3 T. (9
tsp.) Onion Powder
2 T. (6 tsp.) Garlic Powder
2T (6 tsp.) dried
oregano
2T (6 tsp.) dried
cilantro
1T (3 tsp.)
Salt
Use 2 T. per
1lb. ground beef, plus or minus to taste, plus 1/2 cup water. Simmer 3-4 minutes to distribute flavors.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly and store in your preferred, air-tight method. My favorite storage right now is mason jars with shaker lids scavenged from old Parmesan bottles! And maybe someday I'll even get around to giving them pretty labels. But for now, white stickers and black sharpie will just have to do:
Also, I've tried smoked salt and/or smoked paprika and both are delicious! I
especially like these flavors on chicken and pork tacos. You could also
add crushed red pepper or cayenne pepper for a spicier variety. Just
start with small amounts, you can always add more if necessary.
For a single serving, this isn't exactly the same spice ratio, but it's darn close!
single serve taco seasoning:
1.5 tsp.
chili powder
1.25 tsp.
paprika
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. onion
powder
.5 tsp
garlic powder
.5 tsp
oregano
.5 tsp
cilantro
.25 tsp. salt
mix all ingredients in small bowl and sprinkle over 1 lb. ground beef, adding 1/2 cup water. Simmer 3-4 minutes and enjoy.
Enjoy!
