Taco Seasoning

Ingredients:

            1 tbsp chili powder

            1 ½ tsp cracked black pepper

            1 tsp cumin

            ¾ tsp paprika

            ½ tsp garlic powder

            ¼ tsp onion powder

            ¼ tsp oregano flakes

            crushed red pepper flakes, to taste

            cayenne powder, to taste

Instructions:

            Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.  Add crushed red pepper flakes and cayenne powder to taste.  We tend to like a spicier mix and will use ¼ to ½ tsp of red pepper flakes and a dash or two of cayenne powder.  Mix ingredients with a spoon until completely combined.  This makes enough to well season 1lb of ground beef.
