Notes
- Use 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix per pound of meat.
- You can add 1/3 cup of water to ground meat. Water will make the meat tender and moist.
- Add 1 tablespoon cornstarch if there are excess juices from the meat. The cornstarch will thicken them into a delicious taco sauce.
- You can make taco seasoning mix in a batch ahead of time. Be sure to label the container with a date and store for no more than 6 months in an airtight container.
