I made shredded beef tacos last night. I usually keep my own taco and fajita mix on hand and usually make it myself. The seasoning measurements are approximate and can be adjusted any way you like it. I usually make a bunch of it up and seal individual servings of it in foil which I put into a sealed jar for later use. I almost ALWAYS add a bit more garlic to it and sometimes if I have dried jalapeno or habanero on hand I'll pulverize them and add to the mix. I got the original recipe from recipezaar.com which is the mix posted below.
To make the shredded taco meat I cheated this time. I was out and about all day so I put a chuck roast and some chopped onion in the crock pot. I cooked it on high for about 8 hours and shredded it. I put the shredded meat back into the slow cooker along with the juices and added the taco seasoning mix. I kept the temp on low for an hour or 2 stirred and served on (store bought) taco shells. I whipped up my version of spanish rice as a side dish. I also made my own guac and for garnish I had some shredded asadaro cheese and some shredded cheddar with lettuce, chopped green onion, black olives, small diced tomato and sour cream. Oh... I also had salsa. Not a bad meal and very tasty. Anyway I had left over taco salad for breakfast 😉

"Instant" onion and garlic? Those are new terms to me. Is that a regional thing?
I don't think it's regional. I buy dehydrated garlic and onion flakes or minced. Onion and garlic powders might work as well in the recipe but I've not tried them. The 2 links below show minced, powdered etc. I use the minced garlic. Second link is onion. Several different types of onion can be found. I buy mine at Penzeys but you can find some variation of them at the local supermarket most likely.
