Taco Potion #19

A home made version of the traditional packet seasoning mix for ground beef.

I use 3-4 tbsp per 1 lb of meat.

Ingredients Directions

  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp cumin powder
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp kosher salt (less if table salt)
  • 1 1/2 tsp hot smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or chipotle powder)
  • A few grinds of black pepper

Cooking the filling:

  1. Dice 1/2 of a medium yellow onion
  2. Sweat onion until lightly brown in a large skillet
  3. Add ground beef, break up and brown, stirring occasionally
  4. If there is a lot of fat rendered, remove some (leave some for delicious)
  5. Add a couple tbsp of tomato paste and fry briefly
  6. Add 3-4 tbsp of the above mix and 4-6 oz of water
  7. Mix thoroughly and cook for a few minutes until the flavors bloom and filling has thickened
