This mix is a pretty close approximation of that "famous" taco seasoning. There are quite a few taco seasoning recipes on the web. Most all of them use the same basic ingredients, with a couple minor variations. And wuff suspects he'd probably use one of the more "generic" taco seasonings himself, if he weren't trying specifically for the "taco bell flavor" in some recipes.
The main difference in the "taco bell" version is the addition of sugar, and beef granules (or beef stock flavoring). Everything else follows pretty close to the "basic edition" of other taco seasonings.
Taco Bell seasoning mix
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
Directions:
Put all ingredients into a small jar. Screw on the lid, and shake vigorously.
To use, add 2-3 Tablespoons to 3/4 C of water. Stir or whisk to combine. Pour over 1 lb of browned lean ground beef. Allow to come to a strong boil, then reduce heat and simmer vigorously, uncovered for about 10 minutes or until beef reaches the desired amount (or lack) of "saucy-ness).
