Needs a little more salt, and needs also 1 tsp of corn starch to thicken sauce. Drain meat of oil and put 3/4 of a cup of water in meat, add mix. Made the best tacos I've ever had.

I have a recipe similar to this, but it calls for 3 tbsp. of tomato paste and approx. 3/4 cup of water. Really good. Add to 1 lb. ground beef, I use it for all my mexican dishes as well. Love it

This recipe with the extra salt and the water is great. I made a triple batch and keep it in a jar for a quick dinner.

Thanks for the great recipe. It saves money and I think the commercial mixes are too salty now.

My family loves this recipe. Best tacos I've made!

I made these tacos tonight, and they were great!! I added just under a tsp. of salt instead of 1/2 tsp., and 3/4 c. of water as suggested, and it was perfect! Thanks for the tips!

Just tried this - it was great! I didn't have any onion powder so I substituted garlic salt. Because of that, I didn't need any extra salt, but I did add the water. I don't think I'll be buying commercial taco seasoning any more.

These were yummy. Was great for about 1 lb. of meat. Just added about 1/2 to 3/4 cup water to browned (and drained) meat. Simmer for 5-10 minutes to soak in flavors. A little spicy, so use a little less if you don't like spicy. Perfect amount if you do.

I just love these. Way better than commercial seasoning. I was out of onion powder, so I diced up some onion to brown with the meat. I added the water, and the sauce thickened on its own after simmering. If you are accustomed to commercial seasoning, you may need to add a touch of extra salt, though I thought just a tsp. was excellent.

This recipe works great with ground turkey, too. Really gave it a richer flavor! Ditto about the garlic salt/salt. I won't be buying taco seasoning again, either!!

This recipe is really good. I didn't have any oregano, but it tasted great anyway. Instead of regular salt I added in Lawry's seasoned salt, loved it! I made a huge batch to keep on hand. Have you even SEEN the amount of salt in the store packets? Ick!

I my humble opinion, to get that authentic Taco Seasoning taste, add 1 to 2 Tbps. of Masa Corn Flour instead of cornstarch or regular flour to thicken the sauce. Try this. You won't be disappointed.

Really good - I had no mix and this is better than any mixes in the envelope - and no chemicals, preservatives etc. Best.

Great recipe, if you want a little extra kick you can add 1 tsp of ground red pepper. If you end up adding too much water no worries, just simmer a little bit longer.

I use this to season my hamburgers and it is the best. flame kissed on the BBQ, topped with jalapeno jack cheese, guacamole, fresh salsa and sour cream or tzatziki makes for an amazing "taco" burger. serve with oven garlic fries or side salad. delicious!

I used this recipe last night for my tacos and I was very impressed. I didn't have the onion powder or powdered oregano, but still came out good. Next time, I think I'll add tomatoes to it.

Love this recipe. Will never use store bought seasoning mix again.

This is much better than in the store! I added a little less chili powder because I have a son with sensitive taste buds, and didn't want to burn his mouth. I don't think I'll be buying taco seasoning anymore.

Tried this tonight because I am trying to cook without sugar and all commercial packaged taco seasonings have sugar. I made this recipe without sugar and my chili powder already had the cumin, oregano and garlic powder, so didn't add them separately. I didn't add any salt either. This was truly delicious. The best taco meat I've ever made. No more packaged mix for me!

I tried it with ground pork, the water and 3/4 tsp. salt already suggested, and two tsp. vinegar. Served it with whole wheat tortillas, shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes and olives. I agree, the recipe is great; my family LOVED it.

All I can say is that this is great never will buy packet seasoning again. I added half can of tomato sauce to mix an little water an let it boil away after meat was cooked.. It came out great...

super great!!! loved it!! yeeha!

Great mix! I need to limit my sodium intake, so used 50% lite salt, and combined with the other ingredients, we didn't notice a difference. It's quite flavorful. Did use the suggested 3/4 c water. Will certainly use it again...might give the tomato paste / sauce a try next time.

I used Ground Turkey. I add Minced Onion instead of Onion Powder. I also used 3/4 to 1 cup water. I also used 1/2 tsp Spainish Paprika and 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika. This Taco Seasoning Mix was GREAT! Like the others...I will probably never buy any commercial mix again! Thanks, to whomever made this recipe!

just add about 1 tsp of corn starch to thicken.. otherwise.. best taco ive ever had!

This was really good! I enjoyed it so much!

I've been using this recipe for about 1 1/2 years now. EXCELLENT recipe! Friends and family rave about how good it tastes (and I make this AS IS, without modifying the salt content). I am asked for this recipe on a regular basis. I have to agree, I LOVE IT! I make 3-4 batches of it and store it in the cupboard.

There is also a modified version of this recipe that calls for 3 tbsp. of tomato paste to be mixed with 1 serving (=3 tbsp. of seasoning mix) and then mixed with the ground beef. This isn't necessary! I have made this with and without the tomato paste and really didn't notice a difference in taste or texture.

I will NEVER go back to UNHEALTHY, COMMERCIALLY PREPARED taco seasoning mixes!

Great recipe! I used the extra salt and water and cooked about a 1/4 of a cup of minced fresh onion with the beef instead of the onion powder. Better than store bought!

This recipe was great! Kids loved it. I omitted the sugar and was very tasty.

Not only did I print this out, I permanently taped it to the inside of the spice cabinet door. Thank you for the tasty recipe. I made a double batch, doubled the meat and gave everyone in the house a taste. Thumbs up all around... I am glad I was too lazy to go to the store. Now I have better tacos. Delicious!

Thank-you very much for this recipe. Recipe's I am trying to make like tonights are always asking for commercial items instead of telling you what there is in them. Again thank-you you saved my day.

I found this recipe today when I started to make tacos & realized I was out of store bought mix. Wow! I didn't have any powdered oregano so I got some fresh out of my herb garden. I'm going to go to my local healthy foods store and get all the ingredients to make a big batch to keep on hand. No more store bought crud for me!

Tried this when I forgot to buy store taco packet. It was good, but needed just a little kick. I added a 1/2 tsp. black pepper to the mix and of course, used the 3/4 c. water and it was perfect! But even without that addition, very very delicious!

I have been using this seasoning for pinto beans (for bean and cheese burritos) and chili for years. My family loves it!!

I was very impressed with this recipe. I followed the suggestions and added more salt. I almost think 1/2 tsp would have been enough for my taste. I will forever make my own seasoning now using this recipe! Thanks! OH, and I seasoned almost 2 pounds of beef with 1 serving of this.

It was a bit bland when we followed the recipe to the letter. So we added a bit more of pretty much everything to give it more kick. It was a good basic start though.

Used the recipe for breakfast burritos. Used 1 tsp. salt and a pinch of cayenne powder after dropping the sugar and oregano( didn't go well with the eggs the first time around). Great recipe that has me skipping the store bought mixes forever more.

Very tasty but way too hot for my taste! Cut the chili powder in half or a third (if you're like me!)

This recipe was easy enough. We didn't have a store bought packet so I tried this one. I thought it was very bland. We had to add more chili powder and cumin, and also added more salt and pepper. I had high hopes after reading the reviews, but I just wasn't that impressed. It was like it was missing a vital ingredient. It smelled wonderful but the taste didn't stand up. I'll try tweaking it a little next time.

My family loved this recipe. I substituted 1/4 tsp Stevia for the sugar and it came out great. Yum!

2 min just saved me a buck not alot but when you buy this stuff every week it adds up and we have tacos all the time.
