Taco Seasoning Mix
4 T chili powder
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. onion powder
1 t. dried oregano
1 t. red pepper flakes
2 t. paprika
1 T cumin
4 t. salt
4 t. pepper

Combine all spices and store in a sealed jar.


Taco Meat
1 pound ground beef, turkey, or pork
1 t. cornstarch
1/2 c. chicken or beef broth
1-1/2 T Taco Seasoning Mix per pound of cooked meat

Brown and drain ground meat. Add 1-1/2 T Taco Seasoning Mix per pound of cooked meat -- add more for spicier meat, less for milder.
