Tacos are a weekly meal in our house. At first I used any old “taco spice” envelope. Tasted good, and who knows what is in it. Then I looked at the ingredients and was horrified at all the sugar and chemicals. So I switched to a spice envelope from Whole foods. Still a little sugar but improvement nonetheless. Then one day I learned I am yeast sensitive. I can’t eat yeast, and that’s an ingredient in the envelope. So now I make my own. It is cheaper and healthier. Plus, it is kid approved, despite having no sugar.
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp corn starch
Brown 1.5 pounds of grass fed ground beef. Add the powder and 2 tablespoons of water and mix.
Great article! I too am looking for a healthier alternative to all the unnecessary sugar and chemicals added to these everyday foods. Thanks for the great recipe!
