Make the blend by combining all of the seasonings (everything except the tomato paste) into a small bowl.
cook and drain whatever meat you’re using for your tacos and stir in the seasoning blend and the tomato paste. The corn starch and tomato paste will make your meat pretty thick and well… pasty. Add water a tablespoon at a time until your meat has reached your desired saucy consistency.
Let the meat simmer/sit on low for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
Bulk seasoning instructions
Make this seasoning in bulk ahead of time and keep it in a mason jar for some home made goodness in any recipe that requires taco seasoning. This recipe yields a rounded quarter cup. I like to make two + cups at a time, so I multiply all of the ingredient amounts by 8 and stick all of it (minus the tomato paste) in a large mason jar. You can then use 2-2.5 tbsp of seasoning per pound of meat you’re preparing.
