I never buy those seasoning packages at the store anymore.  Why pay extra for spices I already have at home?  I just mix a batch together and store it in a sealed container for whenever needed.  Feel free to add a little more Cayenne for some extra kick!

1 1/4 Teaspoon Chili powder
1 Teaspoon Paprika
1 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 Teaspoon minced onion
1/2 Teaspoon Cumin
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Garlic powder
1/4 Teaspoon Sugar
1/8 Teaspoon Ground oregano
1 Tablespoon Flour

Combine all of these dry ingredients in a small bowl. Store in an air tight container.

 Need the instructions for tacos that always comes on the back of the package???

To prepare the meat filling for tacos preheat a large skillet.   Brown 1 pound ground beef; drain the fat.  Add your Taco Seasoning that you prepared previously and 2/3 cup water to the beef; mix thoroughly.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook, uncovered, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve taco filling with warmed taco shells or tortillas. Top with shredded lettuce, grated cheddar cheese and chopped tomato or fresh salsa.

This recipe makes enough meat filling for 12 tacos.
