Sixteen Crayon Stars


I’m a fan of convenience, especially in the kitchen. Quite often when I plan a complicated and difficult meal, something goes wrong and we end up eating out. There are times, though, when the end product is more than worth the extra effort. I know I could easily buy a taco seasoning packet at the grocer, and it wouldn’t cost much. But tacos taste so much better when I make the seasoning myself. I start with a tablespoon of chili powder, then add a quarter teaspoon EACH of garlic powder, onion power and dried oregano. Stir in half a teaspoon paprika, a teaspoon EACH of salt and pepper, an up to a teaspoon and a half of cumin. Skip the salt if you have garlic and onion salt instead of powder. This recipe will season 2 pounds of ground beef, ground turkey or pulled chicken. But I usually double or triple it and keep the leftover seasoning in an airtight container.
