This recipe for Taco Meat Seasoning is shown above used with ground beef, but it can be can also be used with pork or chicken, as well as steak. It has a the perfect amount of spice, and adds

enormous flavor to any of these meats. Whether you make tacos, tostadas, taquitos, burritos or any other Mexican dish that calls for adding meat to tortillas, this seasoning will give your meat great flavor.

Most of us are probably used to grabbing one of those small packages of taco seasoning at the grocery store to flavor our meat. Not only is this not necessary, the flavor of homemade seasonings far surpasses that of the packaged kind! Plus, chances are you probably already have all the ingredients in your kitchen.

When using this seasoning with chicken or pork, you might want to add the dry

seasoning a little at a time to the meat and do a couple taste tests before adding the wet ingredients, as chicken and pork might not need as much of the seasoning as beef (though you can add all of the dry seasoning if you prefer). You can always save any leftover dry seasoning mix with your other spices for later use.

Ingredients

Dry

1 tablespoon dried onion flakes

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

Wet

1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon cider vinegar

1 tablespoon ketchup

1 lb. of meat (beef, chicken or pork)

In a small mixing bowl, whisk or stir together Dry seasoning ingredients. Set aside near cooking area. In another small mixing bowl, whisk together Wet seasoning ingredients and set aside near cooking area.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook meat until all pink is gone. (Note: If using ground beef, crumble while cooking. If using pork or chicken, cut into medium-sized pieces and cook, then chop up into bite-size pieces and return to skillet to add seasoning.)

Drain any excess fat or liquid from skillet. Sprinkle Dry seasoning mixture over meat and stir until thoroughly combined. Add Wet seasoning mixture and stir to combine. Cook uncovered over low-medium heat, frequently stirring, for about 3 minutes or until liquid has almost completely evaporated yet meat is still moist.
