HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING AND GUACAMOLE

I have a boyfriend who absolutely LOVE tacos. I like it too, I just don't like the prefabricated seasoning with loads of salt, artificial additives and so on. Last night I made my own seasoning with natural spices. So how do you know what is what? A simple lesson is that all mixed spices such as BBQ spice and Chicken spice and so on usually contains additives such as the above. So keep to non-mixed spices and mix your self! Also read on the back of the jars/packages and see that the ingredient is just that one spice.

For the homemade taco seasoning you need (for 400 grams of mince):

2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1/2 yellow onion finely chopped
1-2 tbsp of cumin
1-2 tbsp of chili hot
1-2 tbsp of oregano
1-2 tbsp of capsicum
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil

Heat a pan and add the oil. When its hot add all the spices and fry for 2 minutes until you can smell the spices. This enhances the taste of the mix. Then add the mince. I like to use chicken mince, its healthier and tastes better I think! Season with salt and pepper to your liking. When the mince is done taste and see if you need to add more spices. You might like it stronger, so then you just add more of the above. Remember cumin is the spice that "creates" that taco taste.

Now for the homemade guacamole (for 2 people)!

1 large avocado
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 chili finely chopped
1-2 cloves of garlic finely chopped (depends on size)
In mexican cooking they also sometimes use chopped tomatoes in it and also coriander. I don't like coriander, but if you do - use it and it becomes even more authentic!
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp of milk

Add all to a bowl and MASH it all together as seen below.

Finished result! Healthy and yummy:)) Next is to learn how to make the tortilla. For a simple salsa - use 3 chopped poached tomatoes, 1 clove of finely chopped garlic, 1/2 red onion chopped, juice of 1/2 lime, coriander or mint leaves. Sugar, salt and pepper to taste.
