Save an old spice jar and make your own mexican seasoning to keep on hand for fajitas, peppers, taco meat, crock pot shredded chicken...you get the picture. You'll get the flavor without the added chemicals and sugar in the spice pouches.

Taco Salad

2 lbs ground beef

romaine lettuce

salsa

guac singles

I bought a family pack of ground beef for about $17-18 and used the seasoning listed above on half of it. We ate it over lettuce with salsa and guacamole. I also love to add saute'd onions and bell peppers if I have on hand, prepared how they do at Chipotle. Yumm. I always have to ask for more when I go. That tiny little spoonful is never enough!

With the remaining half of the meat, I added chopped onion (the rest of the onion that I used on the chicken salad). I added in some salt and pepper and a tiny bit of cumin. Not a lot. Cumin can ruin a dish pretty quickly. Then I cubed up a couple sweet potatoes. Threw them in the pan and put on a lid. Stirred occasionally, then drained it to get rid of any remaining fat.  

I found this on thefoodieandthefamily.com  It's as good as it looks.
