Taco Seasoning Recipe

Taco Meat 

I made Taco meat for a Church dinner on Wednesday. I Combined three recipes and created one that I liked. I made four batches until I found the right combination of spices. One of the recipes was from Cook's Illustrated and the other two I found on the Internet. One of those claimed to be like Taco Bell's Taco Seasoning. I thought I would post the recipe so that I would be able to find and remember it the next time I make Tacos for dinner. This mix can be made up ahead in larger quantities and stored until ready to use for Tacos.
