Ingredients

    • 1lb Ground Turkey Breast
    • 1lb Ground Chicken Breast
    • 1lb Ground Pork
    • 1lb Ancestral Blend Ground
    • 1lb Ground Beef

    Spice Mix

    • 1 tbsp chili powder
    • 1 tsp cumin
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp smoked paprika
    • 1 tsp brown sugar
    • 1½ tsp dried minced onion
    • ¾ tsp salt
    • ½ tsp oregano
    • ¼ tsp black pepper

    Directions

    1. Mix the spices: In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and stir until evenly blended.

    2. Brown your meat: Cook 1 lb of ground beef, chicken, turkey, or pork in a skillet over medium heat.

    3. Drain excess fat: Tilt the pan or spoon out any grease for a leaner, flavorful filling.

    4. Add seasoning: Sprinkle the spice mix over the meat.

    5. Simmer with water: Add ⅓ cup water, stir, and let simmer 5–10 minutes until the meat is coated and sauce is thickened.

    6. Serve: Spoon into tortillas, top with your favorite fixings, and enjoy!
