This seasoning mix was AWESOME!! Taste like the restaurant style but without the high sodium content and the "aftertaste" the boughten package mix has. This will be a standard for me, plus I'm going to make some of the spices up to give as gifts for friends as well. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

This was excellent. And unlike the pre-packaged kind it was not salty and "fake" tasting. I also did not have any corn flour and used cornstarch instead and omitted the garlic salt. Will definately be making again.

This was such a great switch from the packet stuff. I HATE tacos at home... and my husband loves them! I would prefer taco bell anyday... until today! I REALLY liked this. I think next time I will use all hot chili powder instead of regular chili powder/hot chili powder mix that I used. I think the extra little punch would be nice. Also.. I didn't have paprika or corn flour. Used corn starch and it was fine. What added flavor would paprika do for it? I really wonder that if anyone can help!

Great recipe! I tweaked it a little. I used shredded chicken, doubled the water and put it all in the crock pot for 3 hours. It turned out really well! My husband said, "This tastes like Taco Bell!" without even knowing that it was supposed too. My husband really enjoys fast food, but I rarely let him have it. Now, I can make it at home! And there's no mystery about what the meat is!

This recipe is pretty good. It's the cumin that makes the flavor.

This was very tasty taco meat. Nice mild chili pepper flavor, nice texture. I used the whole cube of bouillion instead of granules. Tastes just like On The Border's. Hubby asked me to repeat this one every time I make tacos from now on. Thanks!!!

This was really easy and very good. The only changes I made were omitting anything with salt (meaning no seasoning salt and instead of the garlic and onion salt, I used additional garlic and onion powder). We used a couple extra tablespoons of water, as well. This is a great addition to anyone’s 30 minute meal list. We’ll make this one again.

This was pretty good. Not as good as a taco seasoning packet, I felt it wasn't spicy enough. Good to have this recipe on hand when I don't have the packet like last night.

This was a fine substitute for the packaged seasoning you get at the store. I was in the middle of making tacos when I realized that I was out of those packages. Thank goodness for this recipe! I didn't have the corn starch or the garlic salt, but it came out fine anyway. Great substitute in a jam! I might just use this recipe from now on. The only down side is that it does take more time to measure all the ingredients than it would just to rip open a packet.

This was good. Didn't knock my socks off, but considering what you pay for a packet of seasoning in the store, this is definately cheaper and the results are good.

Pretty good. Homemade seasonings are definately better than buying those package mixes. As far as the corn flour, it's essential for the flavor, but I did feel the overall taste was a little bland. To answer a previous question, corn flour is like masa used in various latino foods. It's not the same as corn starch. It's found in the mexican food isle of the grocery store and sometimes is called corn masa or masa harina.
