No need to open a packet of taco seasoning from the store laced with msg and other questionable ingredients!  Mix this up and even double or triple and store in an airtight container infinitely.

 

When you prepare your taco meat, sauté with an onion or crushed garlic if desired.   Add seasoning once you drain your meat, just before it is finished browning. (side note I use grassfed beef so there is no need for me to drain the fat/water from the pan, so I add my seasoning midway through browning to really incorporate the flavor.)  Splash in up to a half of a cup of water if needed.  Allow to simmer for a few minutes.  Enjoy!
