TACO SEASONING PACKET FOR THE FRUGAL HOME-MAKER
The original recipe came from an old "Make-A-Mix" cookbook years ago. I've customized to fit our tastebuds and pocketbook. My thought is: why buy those expensive, chemically flavored little packets when you have all the ingredients on the spice shelf in Mrs. Hubbard's Cupboard?

Steps:
- Tear off a 4-inch strip of aluminum foil, then tear the rectangle in half to have a roughly 4x4 square OR use a snack-size zipper bag.
- Dump all spices & herbs in a small pile.
- Fold foil edges up, pressing folds firmly to seal tightly.
- Store in a cool dark container.
- AT SERVING TIME: Sprinkle packet contents over browned hamburger, add water.
- Simmer lightly, cover with lid to allow onions to re-plump.
- After about 7 minutes, check if water has simmered off and if onions are plumped up. If not, add another tablespoon (or two), and continue plumping.
- We prefer our taco/enchilada meat a bit juicy, but you may wish to remove the lid and let it dry before serving.
- USES: tacos, taco salad, burrito, tostada, enchilada, Mexican lasagna.
