Comments
This recipe makes about 4.5 Tbsp., enough for 6 tacos.
I used McCormick® in the recipe, but obviously you can use any brand you want.
You may be asking yourself, "Why is there an image of a castle and guest houses on a hillside with a Roman pool? Is this some poor man's Hearst Castle?" Well, really, it is there because I was testing some image sizing and just decided to leave it.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
