Ok so I'm starting out by making the seasoning using this recipe: (thanks to FoodwithKidAppeal)
Taco Seasoning Recipe
2 TBSP Cumin*
5 TBSP, 1 TSP Chili Powder*
2 TSP Red Pepper Flakes*
2 TSP Garlic Powder*
2 TSP Onion Powder*
1 TBSP, 1 TSP Paprika*
2 TBSP, 2 TSP kosher salt
1 TBSP, 1 TSP black pepper
Add all ingredients to a small mixing bowl and combine. Return spice mix to an airtight container or empty spice jar. Per your taste, add 1/2- 1TBSP of this mixture to 1 lb of cooked ground meat. Add it in larger quantities to make taco flavored soups. You should get 8-16 servings assuming you're flavoring 1lb of meat. Add a label to your spice mixture with the amount to use "1/2-1 TBS per lb meat" so you don't forget!
As for my method of prep for the meal--- (I bought soft tortillas from the store this time, cheap at Aldi's)
* chop tomatoes, fresh cilantro and mushroom
* shred mozzarella cheese
* get out your fresh salad greens and sour cream
* saute fresh chopped and shallots in extra virgin olive oil
* add the meat and seasoning
* cook through :)
Now arrange fix'ins accordingly so everyone can top their tortilla the way they like :o)
