I've been futzing around trying to figure out how to make a good taco seasoning without buying a 'mix' for ages. I constantly end up making it too hot, or with not enough flavor or just... wrong. Today, I finally got it right.
After browning 1 lb of beef I added
1 Tbs of Mexican chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
.5 tsp Hungarian paprika
.5 tsp cayenne
Dash of Chipolte spice
Salt - don't know how much - I just give the grinder a twist 3-4 times
Then I poured 1 oz of White Tequila over the top of it all, mixed it while the alcohol was cooking down, and then added .5 a cup a water and let it cook for a bit.
When the water was cooked almost all away, I added a bit of arrow root to make it whole thing thicken up a bit, stirred and served.
Of course this could be served as 'normal' tacos but since I'm not eating grains right now I made a salad.
For my husband who's more adventurous then me I took a spinach leaves and some peppers and mixed two Tbs of salsa, and 1 tsp of jalapeño chutney in. I dropped some taco meat and cheese on top and he was a happy camper.
For me, I simply added taco meat and feta cheese to my spinach leaves and dinner was served.
Note: What I might do differently next time: Add onion powder
