Tacos

Do any of you use Ortega or Old El Paso taco seasonings safely (in the U.S.)?

I'd like to make tacos tonight...

Right now my stomach is very sensitive to any kind of spices so it's just ground beef for us. The rest of the family adds salsa, etc. and I just eat mine plain.

Here's our favorite taco recipe.....

1# ground round

1 med. onion minced

2-3 cloves of minced garlic

3 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp salt

1/4tsp of oregano ,cumin(each)

2 tsp bell pepper flakes

dash of tabasco, cayenne pepper, & worchestire sauce

1 16oz. tomatoes packed in puree(I use Furman Brand)or crushed tomatoes

brown meat,onions & garlic. add seasonings & tomatoes . Simmer for 45 minutes uncovered.

spoon into taco shells. I add lettuce,tomato & sour cream, sharp cheddar cheese to ours.

We think this is the best..... hope you like it....

McCormick's taco seasoning is gluten free. We use the mild version

I use Ortega, but always read the label. I also think that Mission is gluten-free.

That's what we use, too. We get the huge containers of it at Costco, rather than the envelopes. I know the Taco Bell mix in the envelope has wheat, so don't use that.
