This is a great recipe to double or even triple.  Leftovers freeze really well and reheat easily for future grab-and-go meals!  
If you prefer spicy tacos, add a 7oz can of hot diced chili peppers along with other ingredients before cooking

  • 4 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1.5 tablespoon cumin
  • 1.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
Add all ingredients and stir.  Store in a cool, dry, air-tight container.
