• 1/4 cup chili powder
• 3 tablespoons salt
• 4 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon dried, minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin powder

• 2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

Notes

Taco Filling: Brown 1 pound ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease. Add 1/2 cup water and 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning mix. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
