  1. Looking good! I might just make this sometime soon, although I'd need to find out which ingredients combine to a taco mixture ;)

  2. Well, I just used a mix I buy at the supermarket (the salt reduced choice). But you could try a mixture of chili powder, cumin powder, salt, ground pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika and ground dried onion.

  4. It sure is. I need to devise a better way of packing it though. To stop it going brown.
