Taco Seasoning Mix

Making my own mix allows for me to know what is in my food.  This is a quick and easy recipe that can be stored in a jar and used at a later time.

Ingredients:
4 Tbls chili powder
3 Tbls and 1 tsp paprika
3 Tbls cumin
1 Tbls and 2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper flacks
2 Tbsp corn starch

Directions:
1.  Mix all ingredients together.
2.  For each 1 lb of ground beef, use 2 Tbsp and 3/4 cup water.
3.  Like all other taco mixes: brown beef, drain, mix in seasoning and water, bring to boil, turn down heat and simmer for about 10 - 15 minutes.

** I like a stronger taste, so I use 3 Tbsp or more of seasoning.  Do what you like - there are no rules! :)
