My Taco Seasoning Mix
6 T. chili powder*
4 1/2 T. cumin
5 T. paprika
3 T. onion powder
2 T. garlic powder
2 T. cornstarch
1 T. salt
1/2 - 1 t. cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
Place all ingredients in a pint jar. Shake well.
Label and store at room temperature.
* For a flavor similar to Taco Bell's, use Durkee's Hot Mexican Chili Powder. For a taste more like Ortega's, use the less expensive kind (like you'd find at the dollar store)
To prepare: Brown 1 pound of hamburger and drain, if necessary. Stir in 2 T. of Taco Mix and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture gets as thick as you like it.
