Homemade Taco & Burrito Seasoning

In our house everyone loves burrito night, however I do not love the pre-packaged taco seasoning. It is loaded with MSG and whatever else and really is kind of spendy for a little bag of seasoning. Also if you have followed this blog at all you know that if you can make it yourself ,you not only end up with taster product that is not only much better for you but also less money. So here is my super simple and delicious recipe to season burritos, tacos, or tostadas. This recipe can be used for either chicken or beef.

Mexican Food Seasoning


2 tbl olive oil
1 to 2 lbs ground beef or chicken breast that has been cut into bite sized cubes
1 med onion chopped
1 clove garlic minced
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbl hot sauce (can be left out if you don't like spicy food)

Heat olive oil in skillet over medium high heat add meat and cook until the meat had started to brown (drain off any excess fat).

 Add onions and garlic and cook until the onion becomes slightly translucent.

Add spices, salt and hot sauce and cook for a few more minutes to give the flavor time to marry.

 Then serve on your tacos, burritos, or tostadas or even nachos have fun!
