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
