MIKE’S TACO SEASONING

It can be hard to find taco seasonings that not only have deep flavor but also don’t contain odd fillers and starches. Coach Mike has been fine tuning this blend for years now and thinks he has found the recipe for smoky robust taco taste!

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 T chili powder

• 1 T chipotle powder

• 1-1/2 T cumin

• 1-1/2 T smoked paprika

• 1 T onion powder

• 1 T garlic powder

• 2 tsp oregano

• 1 T salt

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1 to 2 tsp cayenne pepper (depending on your spicy preference)

• 1 tsp ground coriander

RECIPE STEPS & USAGE:

Okay, there’s nothing really fancy here. Put everything in a jar and shake it up!

Not so much a Pro-tip though! Crush the oregano leaves in your palms before you add them. It releases the oils aka flavor. Do this with any dried leafy spice or crushed red pepper before you add them to a recipe!

If you want to make some great taco meat with this spice blend saute a pound of ground beef (or chicken, turkey, etc.) then add two tablespoons of the seasoning, stir to combine and add 1/2 cup water. Raise the heat to simmer until water reduces by half. Serve it up!
