I love packaged taco seasoning but didn't like all the sodium in the mix, so I came up with my own spice blend to create this Mexican Beef Mixture that taste as good as packaged seasoning but without all of the extra sodium.
If you are stressed for time, lacking below seasonings or just prefer packaged taco seasoning, you can eliminate all of the ingredients from the chili powder down and use packaged taco seasoning. Just follow the direction on the taco seasoning package and you can use that mix in any of the mexican inspired recipes on this site.
