Going Clean- Taco seasoning

For a while now I have been reading up on the idea of going clean. Slowly but surely I am replacing our processed foods with good clean alternatives. One of my favorites I found via Pinterest, but you can find it here! I am still new to the whole cooking thing so when I saw this pin my first thought was- you can do that?!!?...I had no clue, ridiculous...I know. I first made the taco seasoning and we have been using it for a few months now! We use this seasoning with ground turkey when we make tacos.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup chili powder
1/4 cup onion powder
1/8 cup ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon sea salt



(the paprika is MIA in this picture..guess we are out!)



Put all of the ingredients into the jar of your choice and shake it up!





Using it while cooking:

Brown your meat in a skillet (we prefer ground turkey) and drain the fat 

Add 3 tbsp per pound of meat and 2/3 cup of water 

Mix it all up and let it simmer!

We use this in a variety of ways. My husband enjoys tacos and his own creations that imitate Taco Bell dishes. I prefer taco salad and we use the meat to make quesadillas for the boys!
