Sweet and Spicy Mexican Seasoning Notes
We use this all the time! We love it so much it's our favorite taco, burrito, or nacho seasoning. I can't keep it mixed up!

- 2 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons paprika

- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1-2 pounds ground beef
Serves / Yields
4+
Preparation Instructions
- Mix spices together.
- Brown ground beef, add 2-4 T spices & sugar while browning. If using fresh onion, cook it with the browning meat.
- Drain meat if needed (don't worry about losing the spices, the meat already soaked them in).
- Add tomato paste & simmer for 5 or so more minutes.
- For added flavor add fresh tomatoes, corn, beans or any veggies you like.
- Serve as tacos, taco salad, roll into burritos, top chips for nachos, use straight as dip...use your imagination!
- Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, etc as you like.
Helpful Hints
Canned or frozen corn adds an additional sweetness. Mixing it with refried beans makes a nice dip or burrito filling.
