Best Kittencals Taco Seasoning Mix Recipes
KITTENCAL'S TACO SEASONING MIX
After experimenting with many different spice combinations over the years for me this is the closest to the store-bought package taco seasoning --- I always increase this recipe 10x and keep in a glass jar tightly covered in my fridge to have ready for recipes, if you like lots of heat then adjust the cayenne pepper to taste or you may omit completely, if you can find some dried granulated tomato powder then add about 1-2 teaspoons with the mix, I purchase mine at a bulk spice store it really gives the seasoning a lift, the amounts stated are equivalent to one package taco seasoning mix -- don't save this mix to use only for tacos, add some in your recipes to kick up the flavor, it's even great in chili, ground beef mixture for casseroles, stew, soups, and add some into you hamburger mixture for burgers, I even add this to my Parmesan meatballs --- this also makes a great gift for the cook on your list just increase amounts and present in a fancy glass jar.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients (double or triple if desired) .
- Store tighty sealed in a small glass jar until ready to use (I store mine and all spices in the refrigerator).
- **NOTE** this is only optional, if using the mix for tacos you might want to add in some flour into the seasoned cooked ground beef to thicken, I also add in about 1-1/2 cups tomato sauce and simmer, stirring for 20 minutes over low heat.

KITTENCAL'S MEXI GROUND BEEF GUACAMOLE SEVEN-LAYER DIP
You won't see this anywhere, I developed this dip! Serve this at your next get together and your guests will never want to leave after they get a taste of this! Although you can serve this chilled it is much better at almost room temperature. You can prepare the ground beef mixture up to 2 days in advance and just warm in the microwave before using in the recipe. I use my guacamole recipe#71842 and my recipe#76616 to flavor the sour cream and the ground beef, or you can use store-bought or your own favorite recipe! We like extreme spice so I add in 2 jalapeno peppers and also dried chili flakes, if you are serving this to a crowd of people you can reduce or omit the spices completely, also you can adjust all the ingredients to taste. Servings is only estimated, if you are serving a huge crowd then I advise to make two dishes of this dip!

KITTENCAL'S RED ENCHILADA OR TACO SAUCE
I strongly suggest to make this sauce a day ahead and refrigerate as the flavors will blend together even more, and I advise that you double amounts if you are using it for enchiladas, what you do not use may be frozen for later use, this sauce freezes very well, in fact I most always make more to have handy in my freezer --- this makes a fantastic sauce for tacos or enchiladas it is the only one that I use I never purchase bottled this is much better --- the sour cream is only optional add in for a creamy-style sauce :)

KITTENCAL'S ENCHILADA STACK
Do not spread the sour cream directly over the tortillas as it will cause the tortilla to turn soggy, if desired a can of drained black beans can be added into the ground beef mixture, I also like to sprinkle about 3 chopped green onions on before adding on the shredded cheese just on the top layer --- this is *very* good!

Steps:
- Set oven to 375 degrees F (set oven rack to second-lowest position).
- Grease a round 10-inch baking dish (I use a 9 or 10-inch round cake pan or a pie plate).
- Cook ground beef or turkey with the onion, bell pepper, garlic and jalapeno peppers (if using) until crumbly and cooked through; drain off the fat.
- Mix in the taco seasoning mix; cook stirring 2 minutes.
- Add in salsa; mix to combine and simmer uncovered for about 25 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble; place 1 tortilla in the bottom of the pan then sprinkle 1/3 of the ground beef mixture over the tortilla, then dollup 1/3 the sour cream over the ground beef then carefully spread out using back of a spoon or a knife.
- Sprinkle 1/3 the chilies over the sour cream, then 1/3 of the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Repeat two more times (you should have used 3 tortillas) ending up with the cheese on the top.
- Cover loosley with foil (making certain not to allow the foil to touch the cheese or the cheese will stick to the foil).
- Bake for about 1 hour.
