Ingredients

Scale

For the Qdoba taco seasoning mix:

1/4 cup all purpose flour (or, for a gluten-free recipe, brown rice flour)
1/4 cup chile powder
1 1/2 Tablespoons onion powder
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (or powdered Chimayo chile peppers)
1 teaspoon ground coriander

For the meat:

1 lb. lean ground beef (or other ground meat)
1/4 cup Qdoba taco seasoning mix (from above)
3/4 cup water

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix together the seasoning mix ingredients. Measure out 1/4 cup and put the rest in an airtight container for next time.
Brown the ground beef in a frying pan. Add 1/4 cup of the taco seasoning mix and water, stir and cook until most of the liquid is gone. Taste and, if needed, add a little Red Robin Seasoning or your favorite seasoned salt.

Notes

For extra flavor, add some chopped fresh garlic to the meat when cooking the meat and substitute 1/4 cup milk for 1/4 cup of the water.
