TEX MEX SEASONING
A batch of homemade Tex Mex Seasoning is the best shortcut to making tacos, burrito bowls, fajitas, soups, or other Southwestern-style dishes. Keep a batch of this in your pantry and use it in any Southwestern or Mexican recipe. NOTE: This makes enough for any recipe that makes 4 servings, but use the slider below (next to "Servings") to easily adjust the measurements so you can make a big batch to store for future recipes.

Steps:
- Salt is always optional in homemade seasoning. Feel free to add it to the blend now or wait and add it, to taste, when you make a recipe later. (Just don't forget it entirely. Salt will bring out the flavors in the recipe you're making and will allow this seasoning blend to really shine.)
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat; add the onions and cook until translucent. Add the cayenne, chile powder, cumin and Mexican oregano and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the beef and cook until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce and apple cider vinegar and cook until the sauce reduces slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Build the tacos in this order: cheese on the bottom, followed by the beef, tomatoes, avocados, lettuce and jalapenos. Serve the sour cream on the taco or on the side for dipping.
EASY TEX-MEX CHICKEN TACOS
Quick and full of flavor, you can adjust heat by removing the seeds from jalapeno. Garnish tacos with chipotle ranch, salsa verde, and avocado. I make the chipotle ranch with fat free sour cream to save a bit of calories.

TACO SEASONING (GENERAL PURPOSE TEX-MEX USES)
This is a homemade seasoning I developed to make and store in large batches, because I cater so much Tex-Mex food. I use it anywhere chili/chile powder is called for, and it tastes a whole lot better than taco and fajita seasonings found in grocery stores. If you cannot find guajillo or ancho chile powder, you will have to make your own, or mail-order them. How to grind your own is in the directions near the end.* You can also use this seasoning as a grilling or smoking rub. For fajitas, marinate the meat in pineapple juice, then rub this seasoning on the meat, along with some oil, and grill.

Steps:
- In a skillet, smoke the paprika, cumin, guajillo and ancho powders until fragrant. Add to all other ingredients in an airtight container, shake to mix, store in a dry, cool place.
- * Grinding Chiles - purchase 4 each dried guajillo and ancho chiles. In a skillet, blacken the chiles, then bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes to dry them out. Cut them in small pieces, discarding the stems, seeds and pith. Using a spice or coffee grinder, pulverize the chiles in small batches until they are ground to a powder.
