Abuelito's Taco Seasoning
Put down that store-bought taco seasoning and make your own. This simple recipe from my grandfather is truly one of the best. It comes together quickly and will last for six months.
Equipment
- 1 Medium sized bowl
- 1 Measuring spoons
Ingredients
Taco Seasoning
- 2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic granules or powder
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
Taco Meat
- ½ to 1 cup water
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Brown 2lbs of protein (ground beef, ground chicken, ground turkey, tofu crumbles, or faux meat crumbles).
- Add seasoning and mix into protein of choice. Let spices toast for about 1 minute. Turn down heat to low.
- Pour ½ cup to 1 cup of cold water over the spiced protein and mix well. The sauce will begin to thicken. The more water you add the more saucy the mixture will become.
