| For many families, tacos are a wonderful treat. One that children and adults enjoy, a fairly inexpensive meal with just a few ingredients, and minimal preparation. What I didn't know for many years, during the early stages of my family, was that homemade taco seasoning is just plain better. While packaged seasoning mixes may be simple, quick and convenient, it only takes a few minutes more to measure out the ingredients you need, and the results are definitely noticable. You will need: SEASONING MIX
2 tsp instant minced onion
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp crushed red peppers
1/2 tsp instant minced garlic
1/4 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin Combine above ingredients in a small bowl or container and set aside. You will also need: 1 lb. ground beef
1/4 - 1/2 cup water
lettuce, shredded
cheddar cheesed, shredded
onion, chopped
tomatoes, chopped
soft and/or hard taco shells
hot or mild sauce, bottled (optional) |  |
