This looks great! I don't usually buy the taco seasoning (but wished I had it numerous times!) so I found this recipe:

1 Tbs. chili powder
2 tsp. powdered onion or flakes
1 tsp. ea. sugar, ground oregano, garlic powder, paprika, & ground cumin
1/2 tsp. salt (or to taste)

I also have some yellow tomato preserves I think I'll try with this ...
