Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 This is one of those recipes that is just plain handy to have around. It doesn't have all the MSG and red-dye-junk that so many of the packaged taco seasonings have in the market. Also it is made from spices you already have and you can adjust them to your taste. It works great and you can mix up some in advance and store in packets of foil. It mixes well with Yves Ground Round. In fact, my meat eating family members prefer this to the meat- version in our tacos. Fix a can of veggie refried beans, some shredded cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, salsa, and your choice of soft or crunchy shells, and it makes a quick throw-together dinner. 2 tsp. instant minced onion 1 tsp. salt ~*~ I cut this way back to suit my taste 1/4 tsp is enough 1 tsp chili pwdr. 1/2 tsp cornstarch 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper 1/2 tsp instant minced garlic ~*~ garlic pwdr works fine, just cut back a bit unless you are the type who can never have too much garlic. 1/4 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp ground cumin Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and then spoon into a labeled foil packet. Use within 6 months. Directions for making taco filling: 1 1/2 lb yves ground round or your own prefered brand of ground meat substitute 1/2 cup water 1 pkg. taco seasoning mix, above Mix together and simmer until it is thickened and warm. Then serve as you like in taco shells. ~ P_T ~ Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste they hurry past it. -Soren Kierkegaard, philosopher (1813-1855) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
