TACO SEASONING (WITHOUT THE CHILI POWDER)
Here is a recipe that uses only fundamental ingredients. Every other recipe I have found for taco seasoning has chili powder in it, which is a mix itself that has many of the same ingredients as taco seasoning, but in different proportions. This recipe takes chili powder out, but puts its ingredients and proportions back in. Now you have full knowledge and control of all of the ingredients. Adjust the red pepper to your heat preference. I would rate the heat level for this at around medium-hot, so adjust the red pepper as you see fit. I hope to see other variations spring out of this one.

(The book says it makes 6 servings of 1/2 tsp. each. In practical terms, that works out to about 3 tbsp. per pound of ground beef.)

- Store the seasoning in an airtight container: This will help to preserve the flavor and keep it fresh for longer.
- Use the seasoning on other dishes: Taco seasoning isn't just for tacos! It can also be used to flavor burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, and other Mexican dishes.
