Homemade Taco Seasoning

No more of those processed taco seasoning packets in my house! Here's the recipe:

1 Tbsp chili powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
*1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
1.5 tsp ground cumin
1/2 to 1 tsp sea salt (more or less to taste)
1 tsp black pepper

* I'm a weeny so I skipped the spicy red pepper flakes!

Here's what to do:

1. Mix together all ingredients in an airtight container - give it a shake!
2. Add 2-3 Tbsps of this mixture along with 1/2 to 3/4 cup water to 1lb cooked meat of your choice. Simmer over medium heat stirring frequently until there is very little liquid left in the pan.
3. Serve with your favorite taco toppings! I recommend cheese, salsa, avocado/guacamole, lettuce, tomato and sour cream. Oh so delicious! Enjoy!
