Taco Seasoning Mix

A staple in our house. Way more healthy than the little packets laden with msg and salt. My dh prefers the taste over the commercial stuff. Quick to mix up on the fly. Though you could mix up little batches and seal them individually in small ziplocks or make packets with tinfoil. I'm debating on trying this without the cornstarch and water. I'll let you know how it turns out!

Oh, and when I make this, I just sprinkle the mixed seasoning into the meat, then add the water to the meat. I don't mix the seasonings in with the water.

Hey...I just made this last night. I didn't have the cornstarch though, so I skipped it. What does it actually do?
