Taco Meat....

[Guest ~jules~]

My family loves tacos, we eat them all the time. My favorite seasoning has wheat flour in it, and I can't find one that isn't bland. I'm up for making my own or suggestions of a good one at the store. Thanks Julie

Our favorite seasoning is Ortega. I haven't made tacos since Lorelai's switch to gluten free (plus she can't eat that sort of thing yet anyway), but I believe it is gluten free.

Thanks for the suggestion, I haven't tried that one yet. My favorite was taco bell brand, I've tried a few others but they are all so bland ya know.....

Try adding Chilli powder, garlic powder, pepper, cayeene pepper, salsa and/or water.

McCormick is gluten free but has whey or something like that in I think.

Fiddle Faddle has a wonderful taco seasoning recipe.

If you want to make your own, let me know and I'll post fiddle-faddle's recipe.

I'm open to try making my own, could I have the recipe?

I copied her post from when she posted for me.

Thank you again fiddle-faddle if you see this thread.

Taco Seasoning

1 T chili powder

2 t onion powder (or just grate some fresh onion)

1 t cumin

1 t garlic powder

1 t paprika (I use Hungarian sweet)

1 t dried oregano

1 t or T sugar

1/2 t salt

1 T cornmeal

1t cornstarch

Use like the packets--mix with the browned meat, add 3/4 H2O and let bubble to whatever consistency you like. My kids like it sweet, so I also add a squirt of molasses.

El Paso taco seasoning is gluten-free - at least in Canada it is.

Thanks for the recipe and ideas everyone, I am really particular about my tacos...

I just use cumin, onion powder, chili powder, and garlic salt. Works for me, and tastes as good or better than the packets

do they make cumin powder, all I have is cumin seed?

[AndreaB]

Yes, they make cumin powder. We love it!

If you have a coffee mill you can grind the seed yourself.
