Ingredients
  

  • 4 Tbsp chili powder
  • 3 Tbsp plus 1 tsp paprika
  • 3 Tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 Tbsp plus 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder I usually use 2 because we love garlic
  • ΒΌ tsp cayenne pepper optional or adjust amount to heat preference

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a container that has a tight fitting lid and mix to combine.
  • Store until ready to use
  • When using to make taco meat- Cook 1 lb of ground beef or chicken (drain if desired) and then add 1 cup of water and 2 heaping Tbsp of taco seasoning mix and salt to taste. Simmer until most of the water is evaporated.
