HOMEMADE ESSENTIALS: SMOKEY TACO SEASONING

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. Storage of homemade condiments and spices Because homemade spices and condiments do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are all glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, and type in "Weck Jars" and you will find a ton of them. Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet), and sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. If properly stored, this taco spice should last 6 - 8 months.
• 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 4. Add all of the ingredients to a spice grinder.
• 5. Mix until combined.
• 6. Store in a non-reactive container until needed.

MY BEST HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING MIX

Steps:

• Cook meat with or without jalapenos. Drain grease. Mix all dry seasonings and flours and whisk or shake in jar to mix. Sprinkle evenly over meat, toss meat to coat. Add bouillon, beer and ketchup. Stir til mixed. Heat to boiling, reduce heat and simmer til thick. (About 15-20 minutes.)*If using beer, don't worry, it doesn't taste like beer and most of the alcohol will cook out. This is especially good when using beef or pork cubes because beer is a natural meat tenderizer. When I make pork tacos, I simply use pork loin chops and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Since this doesn't cook long, if using beef, use a tender cut such as sirloin steak or better. (Photos by me. Mix made with cubed pork loin chops in main photo.)
