Need Some Spice In Your Life?

Since I'm on a Mexican food kick, I thought I 'd offer a few more recipes to go along with your salsa for the next few weeks.
Today, we have taco seasoning!
When I eat Mexican food, I want it to taste like what I grew up with.....pretty sure that was a packet of seasoning dumped into the hamburger meat while it was cooking!
Here are two healthier {and in my opinion, tastier} options.
We prefer the first, but try both. You may like the second better!

Taco Seasoning #1
1/2 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cumin
1 Tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper

Mix well.
Add with 3/4 cup water to one lb. of cooked hamburger meat and simmer app. 10 minutes.
Can be stored in air-tight container.

Taco Seasoning #2

2 Tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. paprika
1 Tbsp. cumin
2 1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper

Mix well.
If you prefer seasoning with a bit more "heft" to it, add 1 tsp. flour or cornstarch to mix.
Add 2 Tbsp. mix and 3/4 cup water to one lb. of cooked hamburger meat and simmer app. 10 minutes for "saucy" beef.  Just add 2 Tbsp. mix to one lb. of cooked hamburger meat if drier consistency is desired.
Can be stored in air-tight container.
