Homemade Taco Seasoning

I didn't realize how many carbs were in store bought taco seasoning, but I love the flavor of my normal mix. I was a little hesitant about this recipe, but it is delicious and I can't tell the difference. I usually mix this up in a small half pint jar and keep it on my stove. It's great for beef or chicken tacos or even sprinkled on an avocado. 

Use 4 teaspoons of mix per 1 lb. of ground beef. I also add 3/4 cup of water per pound of ground beef, bring it to a boil, and then let it simmer for 10 or 15 minutes.

2 tablespoons chili powder

5 teaspoons paprika

4 1/2 teaspoons cumin

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 tablespoon salt

2 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon cayenne
