Taco Seasoning

You know what I hate? Prepackaged spices like taco seasoning.  Half the time you can't make out what is exactly in it and the other half there is just too much salt in it.  So here is my old reliable taco seasoning mix.  I use it for more than just tacos as well.  

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon minced onion 
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions:

mix all ingredients together.  

Use all and a bit of water to make delicious tacos from a pound of ground beef.  Also use it to season chicken used in Mexican dishes, such as the oven fried chimichangas recipe I will post later.

Add about a quarter-to-half teaspoon of smoked paprika and you've got a great seasoning mix there.
