Taco Turnovers

 JennSam (California) says:
I say make your own taco sauce and forego the packaged kind, which often contains gelatin and other additives you may not want to eat.

Ingredients

* 1 tablespoon chili powder
* 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
* 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
* 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon sea salt
* 1 teaspoon black pepper

Mix in a bowl. Makes about the amount equal to the package of seasoning mix. When making tacos, use as you would package mix, (about 1/3 cup water to cooked meat, add and mix in spice mixture., cook a few minutes on medium heat to allow to thicken as water evaporates out.)
