Taco Potion #19
ACTIVE TIME: 5 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 5 minutes
Yield: 6 tablespoons
This perfect homemade spice blend for taco night will turn ground meat into a flavor fiesta…and yes, I just said “flavor fiesta.” Why number 19? Because there were 18 seasoning formulas before that didn’t quite reach my “fiesta” standards. Although I use this predominantly on beef, it works just as well with ground turkey. This recipe first appeared in Season 14 of Good Eats.

Software
- 2 tablespoons
chili powder - 1 tablespoon
whole cumin seeds, freshly toasted and ground - 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons
hot smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
ground coriander - 1/2 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
ACTIVE TIME: 5 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 5 minutes
Yield: 6 tablespoons
Procedure
- Put all the ingredients in a small jar and shake to combine. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
- To use, break up a half pound of ground beef or turkey in a wide skillet over medium heat. As soon as it starts to sizzle, sprinkle on a tablespoon or two and continue stirring. As moisture cooks out of the meat and simmers, it will be thickened by the cornstarch. It’s a darned tasty trick.
