Taco Seasoning Mix

We love this seasoning for our tacos, so to make things easier when we have them, I make a batch of the seasoning mix up ahead of time. When I get ready to make tacos, I just add 2 T. of seasoning mix per pound of meat. The full directions for the tacos are here: https://www.cherylsrecipes.net/recipe/tacos/

Pizza Sauce

I will never buy pizza sauce again after discovering this recipe!  It is quick, easy and thick, and does not require any cooking before it goes on the pizza!

Tacos

This is the best recipe for taco seasoning I have ever tried! It cooks in about 30 minutes.  This also makes a great nacho!

For Whole30, this can be used in a salad or omelette.

Instructions
  1. Cook ground beef, crumbling as it cooks. While that is cooking, combine dry ingredients. Add seasonings to skillet with cilantro, lime juice and water.
  2. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has been absorbed.
  3. We like to use fresh corn tortillas and cook them on a greased griddle until they are soft and starting to turn brown. Update: We have recently been toasting them over an open flame on our gas stove. That makes them lower calories and fat. Suggested garnishes include: cheese, fresh, chopped cilantro, sliced green onion, salsa, chopped lettuce, chopped tomato or guacamole.
