the store-bought pre-packaged version...

***Low-Sodium Version***

¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

METHOD

In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, oregano, paprika, cumin, kosher salt and ground pepper. Store in an airtight container, or use immediately.

This recipe is for 1 lb. of burger.  Brown burger over medium-high heat, add all of the taco seasoning, 1/2 tablespoon flour, and mix thoroughly. Add 2/3 cup of water, and stir to combine.  Reduce heat to low, and let it simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, while occasionally stirring. ~ Enjoy!

Tip: Feel free to make large batches of taco seasoning, and seal in an airtight container.  Label container that the equation per 1 lb. of burger is 2-1/2 tablespoons of prepared taco seasoning, ½ tablespoon of flour, and 2/3 cup of water, then simmer for 5 minutes.
