Are you worried about carrying a lot of extra spices in storage
space that's too tight? Or do you want something that's going
to "hold" indefinitely in its sealed packet where it's already
measured and you simply "dump" into the cooking meat?

Okay... What type of meat are you looking to use for each?
Beef, chicken or pork? Are you using ground beef, cubed or
shredded meats?

For the burritos, are you using medium, large, flour,
whole-wheat, a mixed tortilla?

For the tacos, are you using corn or flour? Hard or soft?

What types of fillings are you looking to add? Lettuce, cheese
(cheddar or queso fresco), salsas (green or red), onions,
cilantro, tomato?

Do you have oregano, fresh garlic, canned tomatoes, chili
peppers (fresh jalapeno are great)?

If you can give me a little more direction, I'd be happy to
oblige!
