Too funny! That's about what I told Wertz in another post! LOL!
You can make your own mixes, Scott. Here's a recipe from Cooks.com:

HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING MIX

1 tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. each ground cumin, garlic powder, paprika, powdered oregano and
sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Makes 3 tablespoons of
seasoning mix, which is equal in strength to a 1-1/4 ounce package of
commercial seasoning mix.


So you *could* make it up and use one tablespoon of the blend to 1/3#
ground beef, etc., from that recipe to get you two servings.
