This taco seasoning mix is quick and easy and is far superior to the grocery store packet version.

• 3 tbls chili powder
• 1 tbls cumin
• 1 tbls finely crushed Mexican Oregano
• 1 tbls black pepper
• 1 tsp coriander
• 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
• 1 tsp Ancho Pepper (optional)
• 1 tsp Mexican cinnamon
• Salt to taste
• 1 tbls honey (for chicken and pork)

Add this mixture to each pound of beef, pork, or chicken. You can also increase the Cayenne Pepper for a more spicy mix or the Ancho pepper for an earthier flavor.

If Mexican Oregano and Cinnamon are not easily available in your area than you can substitute the regular “grocery” store versions, however, it’s worth seeking out the Mexican versions for this recipe. You can usually find both at any descent Mexican grocery store or can order them from Penzeys Spice.
