Recipe Notes
HOW TO ADD THICKNESS
Store bought taco seasoning usually has a thickening agent in it. If you want the same sauciness that a store bought mixture have two options:
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch to the spice mixture and follow directions.
- Add 2 tablespoons of flour with the water when simmering.
