Have you ever looked at the ingredients on a taco seasoning packet? You should. It's absurd! Something as simple as a seasoning should not be filled with things that you can't pronounce. And don't even get me started on the salt content!
Tacos have become a weekly staple in our house - all of us love them. Don't just stop at ground beef either. I season my black beans and refried beans with it too. I always double or triple the recipe because I know it won't be long until it's Taco night again!
I use about one tablespoon per pound of ground beef, which seems to suit my family just right - but you may prefer a little more. And, you can always adjust any of the ingredients to make it spicier, saltier, etc. Play around with it and see what works best for you!
