Making your own taco seasoning from scratch is a breeze, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing you’re eliminating all the additives found in the store bought seasoning packs!
Mix up a batch or two of this taco seasoning and use it on all of your favourite dishes for a punch of taco flavour! Or simply add 2 or 3 teaspoons to a pound of grass-fed ground beef and top with your favourite taco toppings for a delicious quick and easy taco salad.
Brown ground beef in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add diced onions and bell peppers and saute until soft. You may want to drain the ground beef if there is a lot of extra fat in your skillet.
Add 2-3 teaspoons of your pre-made taco seasoning to the cooked beef and mix well.
Add the tomato sauce and water and continue to stir until well incorporated. You can really play with the consistency here and add more tomato sauce or water depending on how “saucy” you like it. I like to keep mine fairly saucy so it acts as a dressing for the salad. The longer you let the mixture simmer the thicker it will get.
Chop the romain lettuce and divide into individual portions. Top with ground beef mixture and the rest of your favourite taco toppings!
