Stirring the Pot - Taco/Fajita Seasoning

The first questions in last week's RD12 was: "What is your favorite Mexican dish?" and this was my answer: "My homemade soft shell tacos/burritos. I generally use leftover meat, grate some carrots to saute with the onion and garlic, add a little of my own taco/fajita seasoning, green,  red, yellow, orange bell peppers (whatever you have on hand), a little jalapeno, then some black beans (rinsed and drained, please). Roll it all up in a warmed flour tortilla and top it with a little sour cream, salsa, and grated cheese. Sometimes, I have some sliced avocado on the side too. Don't have tortillas? Crush some tortilla chips on a plate, cover with lettuce, then top with all that stuff above. Delicious! Ummmm.....can I see a show of hands? Who's coming over for dinner? lol"

Here's the taco/fajita seasoning recipe:

3 Tabl Chili Powder
6 Tabl Corn Starch
1 1/2 teasp Kosher Salt
1 1/2 teasp Black Pepper
3/4 teasp Garlic Powder
3/4 teasp Onion Powder
3/4 teasp Oregano
1 1/2 teasp Paprika
3 teasp Cumin
3/4 teasp Cayenne

Combine all ingredients, mix thoroughly. Store in air tight container.

Directions for use:


Brown one pound ground meat. Drain. Add 3 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning mix. Stir in 2/3 Cup water. Simmer 10 minutes.

Please enjoy and share this recipe.


Peace and Joy,
