*This mix makes enough for making 1 pound of ground meat.  You can always make more and have it ready to go whenever you feel like a quick dinner and tacos are a good go-to!

*With this mixture, I added 1/2 cup water after the meat has browned with the mixture.  I stir it all together and let it simmer for a minute.  And then I  added 1/2 cup more water.  Add the water 1/4 cup at a time,  so it’s not too watery, and to your liking.  I like a little sauce!

*If you like it a tad spicy, you can always add red pepper flakes.

*I used just 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, if you like cumin, you can always add more.  I wanted just a hint of the smoky flavor, but didn’t want it to overpower the mix.

*Black pepper can also be lessened to just 1/4 teaspoon if you feel it’s too spicy as well!

*I used just 1/4 teaspoon of salt.  Tacos can have added sodium in the tortilla, cheese, and other toppings.  I chose to go with less, but this is why homemade is great so that it’s also not TOO much!
