I know what you’re thinking. What? Revisited? What’s the point? Wasn’t it already good the first time? Obviously not, we’re revisiting it. When I wrote the original taco seasoning post I wasn’t the best blogger and it wasn’t the best recipe. Sorry for being a whore liar. I’m all better now, I’m a total pretty woman.
This taco seasoning reminds me of what my childhood was made of. Straight up ground beef with a packet of McCormick taco seasoning. Add some tomatoes and lettuce on a fried tortilla and I was in heaven. This mix of spices has almost the same flavor with a little more richness to it, it’s more cost effective if you purchase it all in the bulk section, and the sodium level is way less. Way less sodium is sexy.
I would like to also note that this makes way better tacos than those lunchables did when I was in grade school. Am I the only one to have requested those for field trips? TACO MEAT IN A TUBE that you squirted out on weird bread thing then topped with thick shredded cheese. I just don’t even know what to say about that except stop it.
What I can say about this seasoning is that it’s good and can make a pound of turkey into a meal real fast (taco salad puhlease right now). If meat isn’t your thing try a pound of sliced crimini mushrooms for mushroom tacos. Everyone’s down with that. This stuff is like hamburger helper but nothing comes from a box and there’s not a creepy talking hand that’s gonna try to feel you up when you aren’t looking. I’ve seen the way it’s looked at those moms in the commercials.
