      This was the closest to the Ortega brand we use and like so well. I used a whole clove of garlic. It was a bit hot for my youngest so will have to tone it done just a bit. But this is definitely the seasoning I'll use from now on.

      I've used this a number of times and the flavor is just right. It makes our family taco nights really delicious!

      I have used this recipe for over a year now. It's my only "go to" for tacos. I prepare it in bulk so it's always ready to go, no prep time. Love it.

      This is so good! I've just finished off yet another pan of tacos!
      I do it slightly differently:
      Dry onion flakes, garlic powder, cumin seeds, no cornstarch (boyfriend's allergic). Also, I have really spicy chili powder, so I don't do the flakes. (Also sometimes use one small onion and some cloves of garlic instead of dry)
      I do the meat as you say, then stir in a can of refried beans and some cheese - fantastic dinner! We've started eating it with Mexican Crema.
      Anyway. My mouth is currently singing your praises yet again. Thank you.

      No pkgs of taco seasoning mix in the cupboard, and was in a hurry so didn't want to rely on adding a bit of everything and adjusting to taste, so consulted Recipezaar and this looked good. Turned out great - no complaints from a family of five! I did add extra chili powder, and substituted a dash of cayenne for the dried red pepper, and garlic powder for the minced garlic. Thanks Opal!

      Made this tonight, TRUE!
      What a delight to have a seasoning with NO SUGAR in it too!
      Added extra chilli flakes, 1 canned tinned tomatoes (no sugar), 1 cup water, 1 cup no salt/sugar tomato paste and cannelloni beans...WHOO HOO! Thank you!

      I was surprised how bland this was after reading a lot of 5 star reviews. I was very disappointed with this after following the recipe. I had to add other spices to kick it up. I personally think that 1 tsp. of chili powder for a pound of meat is simply not enough. (To me) for a pound of meat, you need at least 3 Tbsp. of chili powder, and sometimes that's not even enough, depending on if you use ground beef or turkey.

      Just what we were looking for. Might use a little less salt next time. Thanks for posting.

      I cleaned out my kitchen in Jan. and was in the midst of cooking when I realized I did not have taco seasoning! Thanks for coming to the rescue, I also used fresh minced garlic on nights when I was using the batch right away. I've probably made this 3 or 4 times now, and I go a little light on the red pepper! :)
      Update - I wrote my review in May '08, and tonight I realized, I really use this alot. I cut back a bit on the red pepper flakes and am a little generous with the cumin, per my taste preferences but I can't go back to prepacked seasonings...I love this one :)

      Great taco seasoning! I doubled the recipe and used half for ground beef tacos and half for shredded pork tacos. Everyone raved about how good they were. Thanks for sharing.

      Loved it! I will make this every time instead of buying a packet of taco seasoning. I loved the little kick.

      Very good! Used this with ground beef as directed and it was very good. I use Penzey's spices which seem stronger than most. As such, this was slightly spicy, but everyone loved it! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

      This is exactly what I was looking for! My wife and I tried it last night and were very impressed. As other reviewers have said, we'll never buy taco seasoning again! The nice thing about this recipe too is the ability to adjust how hot it is, based on how much of the "hotter" spices you want to put in! Very nice. I didn't have the onion or the garlic, so I just used onion powder and garlic powder. Still tasted great!!! The only thing I would change is the amount of salt. Next time I think I'll put half the amount, but that's just my preference! Thanks for this recipe!

      Easy and flexible. We used this with recipe '253781' - Mexican Sweet Potatos and with both beef and veggie tacos. We used a third less salt than called for and didn't miss it.

      Very tasty! Will be using this from now on instead of the packaged taco seasoning.

      Wat a fabulous substitue to package seasoning! Very, very good. The only thing I did differently was cut back a little on the salt. It came out perfect. No more packet seasoning for me! Will use this from now on!
