I love tacos! and tortillas too!! and guacamole as well!!! but now I’m wandering about. This is (the first?) how-to post I write, it will be tweaked again I hope, according to the feedbacks.
Being about spices, the main issue is that, in many languages, spices got different names, different translations and in all the case, different tastes too, which could vanish the overall experience. The pictures of the spices I’ve used are as close as possible to what I’ve actually used in reality.
This list is not exhaustive nor fixed, feel free to customize it to your will and put the modification in the comment, it would be great!
Ingredients (for 250 gr of beef or any other substitute):
1,5 teaspoon (ts) of paprika powder mild
1/2 ts of iodized salt (stormtrooper not included :P)
(to recap)
1 and a half teaspoons (ts) of paprika powder mild
1 ts oregano
1/2 ts grinded cayenne pepper
1 ts cumin seed
1/2 ts of iodized salt
1 ts of wheat flour
1/2 ts of dark cocoa powder
Preparation:
This is the easiest part.
In a small bowl, put all the ingredients together and stir it. Make sure it’s not in contact with water in any possible way. Being all dry ingredients, you can even store it to use it another time.
Variation in the amount of cocoa may have the greater influence on the final taste, so try not to exaggerate with it.
This mix is excellent to be used in other recipes as the main seasoning or a tasty add-on!
Buon appetito.
P. S.: There are several ways of doing this starting from the whole spices instead of having them already grinded. What is changes is the final taste of it, stronger in the case of self-grinded spices.
