ChuckB Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Tacos are a staple of the ChuckB household and I was wondering if anyone had a mix for homemade taco seasoning rather than using the packets all the time. Keep in mind I have two little girls so extremely hot seasoning would not be usable for me. Thanks in advance for any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bier Meister Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 i do mine to taste: chili powder garlic powder cayenne salt pepper touch of cinnamon keep in mind, when doing tacos (or ground beef of any sort), the meet really absorbs the seasonings. you will likely have to add more of everything as you go to avoid it from being bland.

Seattle LawDawg Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 yeah... mrs doesn't like cumin, so i instinctively left it out Everything to taste and it depends on how you're cooking your meat: Cumin Minced Garlic Chili Powder Crushed Red Pepper Garlic Salt Cayenne Pepper For my taco chicken which I do in the crockpot, additional flavor comes from Chipotles, green chilis, and tequila.

alexgaddis Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) I can't stand cumin so I looked for something different... Usually I use: Fresh Garlic Green Chilies (not hot) Adobo seasoning (awesome stuff in the mexican aisle) Chili powder Edited November 13, 2006 by alexgaddis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
