Taco Seasoning

We have tacos for dinner every Friday or Saturday night. We just love them!! Tonight Doug was in charge of making them while I took care of Ella. He had everything cut up and the hamburger browned and ready when I hear...."Kristina, where is the taco seasoning?"  After explaining where I thought it was and double checking a few places myself, we quickly realized we had none!! Not a good time to have to run to the store.

Thank goodness for the world wide web! I found a great recipe and I think we will just use it from now on rather than buying the package of seasoning. If you ever run out of seasoning mix.....here is a quick and yummy fix.

• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or 1/8 tsp. cheyenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl.  Add 1/2 cup water and ingredients to one pound cooked ground beef. Let simmer and enjoy!
