Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients using a small spoon or whisk. Use right away or store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
  2. To make taco meat, use 2 tbsp of seasoning per pound of ground meat of choice. In a cast iron pan or skillet, brown the meat and drain if necessary. Add in 2 tbsp of seasoningand 1/4 cup of water (or up to 1/2 cup as needed.) You can add 1/2 cup of tomato sauce but this step is optional. Stir and let simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated. Serve immediately in taco shells, over rice, with toppings of choice. For added flavor and spice, drizzle with my recipe for easy Chipotle Sauce.
    Enjoy!
