Instructions

For a single batch:

Combine ingredients in a small bowl. This makes just over 2.5 tablespoons (including the salt and pepper).

For a large batch:

Combine ingredients in an airtight container like a mason jar. You’ll need about 2.5 tablespoons taco seasoning per 1lb of meat.

To use:

Brown 1lb ground meat.
Drain.
Add 2.5 Tablespoons taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of water.
Simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the water is absorbed.

Notes

* I prefer to put the salt and pepper in my seasoning blend, but feel free to leave it out and salt and pepper the dish as needed if you prefer. Recipe yields about 2 tablespoons without salt and pepper.
