Cooking Lesson #24— Ed’s Taco Seasoning Mix

How you doin’? Over 30 million people are now out of work and many are looking for ways to trim their food budget. Mexican food tends to be less expensive and can be stretched further than other cuisines.

I want to share a very special recipe—my taco seasoning mix. If you love eating Mexican foods even past Cinco de Mayo you’re in for a treat. This is not only the perfect filling for tacos, but also great for meat filled-burritos and taco salads.
 
When I worked at Lawry’s, we developed the first Taco Seasoning Mix—and it was a hit. We found that you can use the seasoned meat on a variety of Mexican specialties. Not into beef?  It’s is also the prefect seasoning for ground chicken, turkey and tofu. So here it is… the perfect hack for Lawry’s Taco Seasoning Mix.
 
Prep time:  5 minutes
Yield:  1 cup
 
Ingredients
 1/4 cup sweet paprika
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
 
Directions
  1. Measure out and whisk all the ingredients into a medium bowl making sure to break up any clumps.
  2. If not using the spice mix immediately, transfer to an airtight container for long term storage at cool room temperature.
  3. Three (3) tablespoons of taco season will season 1 pound of ground beef, chicken, turkey, or tofu.

Ingredients
 1 tablespoon olive oil
1-pound ground beef (80/20)
3 tablespoons Ed’s Taco Seasoning Mix
2/3 cup of water
 
Directions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet.
  2. Brown the ground meat in the skillet on medium-high heat. Drain all but 1 tablespoon of fat.
  3. Stir in the 3 tablespoons of taco seasoning mix and add 2/3 cup of water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low; simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Spoon the seasoned meat mixture into taco shells.
  5. Serve with assorted toppings—shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, shredded cheese, salsa and hot sauce.
 
ChefSecret:  3 tablespoons of this taco seasoning is the equivalent to 1 package of Lawry’s Taco Seasoning. The seasoning mix keeps well in an airtight container at cool room temperature up to 6 months.
