I decided to perfect this because I was fed up with buying a ''famous brand'' packet of [[spices]] every time I wanted to make tacos. I think that this is pretty close. It works with [[chicken]] as well as [[beef]].

I deliberately wanted a dry mix to put into taco shells, as the ''[[sauce]]'' would be provided by [[guacamole]], [[sour cream]] or [[yogurt]]
