I haven't wanted to use the store bought stuff in ages (ever since I actually read the label, yikes!). I had been using just chili powder but this is more like the real thing!
1 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch cayenne
Combine and add to 1 pound browned and drained ground beef. Add a little water or tomato sauce, if desired. Sometimes I add some V-8 or Rotel tomatoes (undrained). This will be drier than taco meat made with a commercial mix due to the lack of thickeners. It tastes just as good as the store bought kind and is a lot cheaper to make.
Makes enough for 1 pound ground beef or 4-6 servings
