Ingredients

Scale

1 pound ground beef, pork or other protein

2 tablespoons chili powder

1 tablespoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground oregano

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1 clove garlic, minced or crushed in a garlic press

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon cold water

Instructions

In a medium-size bowl, crumble the pork, beef or other protein. Add the herbs, spices and garlic and mix lightly but thoroughly with a spoon. Add the cider vinegar and water and mix well again. Divide into a quarter to a fifth pound portions and wrap tightly in plastic wrap, or stuff into sausage casings if you prefer. It freezes well, though the cider vinegar flavor will not be quite as bright.
