This recipe is for use with 1 pound of meat, add water and stir and let simmer to thicken. What spices are in Old El Paso Taco Seasoning? My recipe isn’t an exact adaptation of the Old El Paso, which was one of my favorites, but my homemade taco seasoning mix makes the best taco meat, I promise you will never buy store-bought again.
The Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix, for example, contains maltodextrin (a sugar) and starch. And the Schwartz Fajita Seasoning, which I used to season chicken as well as beef, lists maltodextrin as the first ingredient and sugar as the third.
