To use this taco blend, you typically brown your ground meat in a skillet. Once the meat is cooked through and any excess fat is drained, you would add the contents of the packet to the skillet. Stir the seasoning well to ensure it is evenly distributed throughout the meat. Some people like to add a small amount of water to the skillet after adding the seasoning to help create a sauce that coats the meat. Let it simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
