Tacos and mexican food is fantastic; everyone knows this. The trouble is with big box grocery store taco seasoning. It’s the freakishly iridescent orange color, the billion ingredients, the super high sodium content. I just did not really like buying it and I had a hunch I could make something more flavorful. And have it ready and easier to use in a big batch from home. Enter: Homemade Taco Seasoning.
HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING
Makes about 20 servings
1 and 1/4 cup chili powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons dried oregano
4 tablespoons paprika
1/2 cup cumin
1/3 cup pepper
I multiplied the above recipe by 10 to store and use conveniently on future Taco Nights. Measure and pour all ingredients into a storage container.
A mason jar is perfect because when you’re done you can seal the lid and mix the ingredients really easily and thoroughly. Have fun saving your kidneys!
