Dieter Claire’s Taco Seasoning
Add to favorites
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
Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
The Perfect Tenderloin Steak
I love a steak while I am on Plan ZReduction. I have pretty much perfected my technique using a cast iron skillet but learned this method by asking a French restaurant how they did theirs.
Smokey-Sweet Barbecue Sauce
This Smokey-Sweet Barbecue Sauce is a great addition to your recipe collection. This can be made spicier with the addition of cayenne. I kept mine mild and spiced it up for my husband.
