Equipment;

• Frying Pan
• Stirring Spoon
• Measuring Spoons
• Small Bowl

Ingredients;

• 3 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp oregano
• 1/4 tsp cayenne
• 3 tbsp beef stock
• 1 lb minced beef

Instructions;

1. Stir all the spices together in a small bowl.
2. Crumble the meat into the saucepan over medium heat.
3. Add the beef stock and stir to break up the meat into a small texture. Add the spices and cook until well browned but not dry.
4. Serve!

Tips;

• Try making a big batch of this seasoning ahead of time and mixing it right into a suitable storage container like an old jam jar.
• If you can tolerate corn, try adding 1 1/2 tbsp corn flour to the spice mix for a more authentic flavor. If you can't tolerate corn but you can tolerate other grains, try arrowroot starch/flour in place of the corn flour.
• The more liquid you add to the pan, the finer the texture of your meat. Try adding less for bigger chunks, and more for a very fine texture, but be careful - small variations make a big difference!
• Make sure to read the ingredients on your onion powder and garlic powder carefully - these often contain gluten or other unsavories in the form of anti-caking ingredients.

Even if you are not gluten free, this recipe can save you a lot of money over buying take out Mexican food or those expensive taco seasoning packets in the store that are mostly just corn starch!
