Clean Eating Taco Seasoning

INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon onion salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper 

1/4 teaspoon chili powder

DIRECTIONS: 

Blend all spices in a bowl and use to season any taco meat you are cooking. (Use approximately 1 tablespoon per pound of meat.)

*Note: The mix has a small amount of "kick" to it. If you want something without kick, replace the 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper with an additional 1/2 teaspoon of paprika. 

REVIEW: I absolutely loved this recipe. The meat was nice and tender and the flavor was delicious. Plus it smelled amazing all day long. It is really simple to put together. You just make it in the morning (it takes like 10 minutes) and at the end of the day you have a tasty dinner. I just put a little on a tortilla, sprinkled a little cheese on and it was good. Of course it tasted just fine by itself, too. It's a great meal to do if you don't have a lot of time. Also, you can make a large batch of the taco seasoning and store it in a jar and then you have homemade seasoning whenever you need it. I would definitely recommend this, and coming from a picky eater you know this has to be good.
