Dieter Claire’s Taco Seasoning

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. Taco seasoning is usually chock full of preservatives. This delicious, DIY taco seasoning recipe was submitted by Plan Z dieter Claire, so you can enjoy seasoned ground beef without all the added artificials. Yum!!

Serves: Serves 2-3 (enough to season 1 pound of ground beef). Can easily be doubled. Or tripled.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1-1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (you could use a pinch instead)
  • pinch of red pepper flakes or to taste

Instructions:

Mix all ingredients in a small bowl. Add to 1 lb of ground sirloin when meat is partially browned. After the meat has browned, add 1/2 cup of water and cook down to blend flavors.

I make this in bulk and store it in a jar. It’s less expensive than taco seasoning packets and has no fillers. Plus, I can tweak the flavors to suit my family.

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Dieter Claire
