    As always Alton delivered. We were out of Taco seasoning packets and had to improvise. My Grandson loved it. I will make a big batch, no more seasoning packets in this house. Thank you Alton.

    Simple and brilliantly tasty. I added to a pound of grass fed beef. Probably about a third of this recipe. I think I will make a bigger batch to have on hand. Thanks, Alton.

    Really great recipe!!! Alton never fails! I used 1/2 lb ground beef 1/2 lb ground turkey. I salted & peppered the meat = bad idea! It came out too salty when I added the salt w/ the seasoning. So I rinsed the meat, and then added new batch of seasoning. I didn't have cornstarch, mixed 2 TB with water &then added to meat, I added more flour/water over time, I like it more of a mixture than just dry meat. I didn't have the hot paprika, but used the regular instead. It was spicy, but a good heat! I would save a seasoning container and add Taco Potion to that, and then adjust to your own taste.

    ** If you like sour cream w/ your tacos, add a little garlic powder and mix...mmm SO GOOD!
