Make your own taco seasoning to add to chicken or beef! This is a great way to ditch the packet that is full of preservatives.

Taco Seasoning

Servings: Equivalent of 1 packet, enough for 1 pound of meat

• 1 Tablespoon chili powder
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon corn starch
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)

1. Mix all seasonings together.
2. When ready to use, mix the seasoning into 1 pound of cooked meat along with 1/2 cup water.

Notes:

• This can be made ahead of time in bulk so you have seasoning mixed up for future use! Simply divide into small ziploc bags or containers and store in a cool dry place.
