Instructions

Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container.
Use 1 Tbsp taco seasoning mix per pound of browned meat. If you like your meat spicy, feel free to double the amount.
Add 1/2 cup water to the meat and let simmer for 10 minutes.

Notes

I also like to add 1-2 Tablespoons of tomato paste or ketchup to the meat with the seasoning to give it a richer flavor.
