Of all the mixes I use this one the MOST. I go through a quart jar full every couple of months.
The sweetener gives a bit of twang to balance out the spice. It’s the secret to a mix that tastes like the commercial ones, but can be left out if you’re against it. If you want yours super spicy add some cayenne, about a teaspoon to the whole jar.
If you buy your spices at Aldi, one bottle of spice is about 1 cup.
Quart Jar Taco Mix:
1 cup chili powder
1 cup dried onion flakes
¾ cup ground cumin
¾ cup garlic salt
1/3 cup sugar (or equivalent stevia blend substitute)
3 Tbs Paprika
Use 2 Tbs of mix for each pound of meat. You can also use this mix to make big batch taco meat for the freezer with the slow cooker bulk cooking method.
