This is excellent! I have been seasoning my own taco meat for a while, but this is much better than what I was making. My only suggestion is to add salt. I made some and sent it to my sister, who didn't add salt when she made tacos, and she said it was just so so. I added salt to my batch and it was awesome.

Of all the taco seasoning recipes on the 'zaar, I chose this one because it had coriander and no bouillon. I left out the crushed red pepper flakes (household of weenies)and used it to make crockpot chicken taco meat (#4957). It was very close to the flavor I have been looking for. I ended up adding a little more garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar per 3 tablespoons of mix, and a few generous dashes of cinnamon. It's very good, and I will probably tweak it a little more, after I see what it tastes like after sitting overnight (if there is any left!) Thanks for posting

I used this in recipe #174668 with great results. The only thing I changed was to leave out the garlic powder (I add fresh garlic instead) and I didn't have any onion flakes so I used some onion granules instead. I'll make sure that I always have some of this stored as it is so much cheaper than the store bought stuff, I know everything that's in it and it tastes and works just as good, if not better. Thanks for sharing.
