Taco Seasoning

Okay, so I use this CONSTANTLY.  I love tacos.  My favorite is ground turkey, but I use this with just about any protein.  I have done this with leftover shredded pork even.  This recipe is about right for every pound of protein so double or half or whatever you need to do accordingly.  It is fairly mild heat wise but you can adjust that by adding more or less cayenne.  ENJOY.

    1 Tablespoon chili powder

    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

    1/4 teaspoon onion powder

    1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

    1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

    1/2 teaspoon paprika

    1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

    1 teaspoon sea salt

    1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Mix all ingredients in a small bowl and toss into the pan with the meat you are cooking as it cooks.  I often add a few tablespoons of good olive oil and a little water depending on how saucy I want it :-)
