Taco Seasoning

Why buy an envelope of seasoning when you can make it yourself in bulk and know exactly what is in it?  Make it mild or with a bit of a kick with the substitution of some chipotle chili powder.

Taco Seasoning
1/4 c. chili powder (for more heat use 1-2 t. chipotle powder and regular chili powder to equal 1/4 cup)
2 T. cumin
2 T. paprika
1 T. + 1 t. oregano
1 T. + 1 t. salt
2 t. garlic powder
2 t. onion powder
1 t. cayenne pepper

Use about 2 T. per pound of ground beef.

Brown ground beef, drain.  Add seasoning and about 1/3 c.  water.  Simmer a minute.

You can also use shredded chicken!
