Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe

When I started on my Handmade with Love x2 journey one of the first things I did was start making my own seasonings. I started with Taco Seasoning first because 1) it was so cheap and easy to make 2) I was hard pressed to find a store bought brand that did not have a bunch of fillers that quite frankly I don't want to feed my family because the really are not good for you, plus many have either MSG or black pepper in them, both of which I am allergic to and 3) well, it just tastes better and depending on who I am cooking for I can always turn up or down the heat based on the varied taste buds of my family.


Ingredients 

1 T Chili Powder
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Dried Minced Onion (or you can used Onion Powder)
1/4 tsp Dried Oregano
1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes. (you can add more or less depending on your taste buds)
1/2 tsp Paprika
1 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp of Sea Salt 

In a small bowl mix all the ingredients. 
For tacos just add to one pound of browned ground meat with a 1/2 cup of water then let simmer down. 

 

 You can always make this recipe in larger batches and store it in an air tight container which I always do just so that I have it on hand as I use it for a variety of recipes. Including my Mexican Cornbread Chicken Casserole.
