Breakfast - Left over Taco

Michael \'Dog3\' Lonergan said:

I made shredded beef tacos last night. I usually keep my own taco and
fajita mix on hand and usually make it myself. The seasoning measurements
are approximate and can be adjusted any way you like it. I usually make a
bunch of it up and seal individual servings of it in foil which I put into
a sealed jar for later use. I almost ALWAYS add a bit more garlic to it
and sometimes if I have dried jalapeno or habanero on hand I'll pulverize
them and add to the mix. I got the original recipe from recipezaar.com
which is the mix posted below.

Taco seasoning mix:

2 teaspoons instant onion, Minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried red peppers, Crushed
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon instant garlic, Minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin, Ground

To make the shredded taco meat I cheated this time. I was out and about
all day so I put a chuck roast and some chopped onion in the crock pot. I
cooked it on high for about 8 hours and shredded it. I put the shredded
meat back into the slow cooker along with the juices and added the taco
seasoning mix. I kept the temp on low for an hour or 2 stirred and served
on (store bought) taco shells. I whipped up my version of spanish rice as
a side dish. I also made my own guac and for garnish I had some shredded
asadaro cheese and some shredded cheddar with lettuce, chopped green onion,
black olives, small diced tomato and sour cream. Oh... I also had salsa.
Not a bad meal and very tasty. Anyway I had left over taco salad for
breakfast 😉

Thank you! This sounds like a much better choice than the Old El Paso [censored]!

"Instant" onion and garlic? Those are new terms to me. Is that
a regional thing?

I don't think it's regional. I buy dehydrated garlic and onion flakes or
minced. Onion and garlic powders might work as well in the recipe but I've
not tried them. The 2 links below show minced, powdered etc. I use the
minced garlic. Second link is onion. Several different types of onion can
be found. I buy mine at Penzeys but you can find some variation of them at
the local supermarket most likely.
