Taco Seasoning-DIY
I make a ton of Mexican food around here! One of the things that I had been put off by was the processed taste of your standard seasoning packets. A while back I began to play around with different recipes to make my own seasoning, and frankly most of the ingredients are always in my pantry so it was a no-brainer! Getting the right mix of ingredients, however, was a little less easy. This here is a combination that we seemed to like…
Taco Seasoning-DIY
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together and store in an airtight container. Use 3 tablespoons mixture plus 3/4 cup water add to your browned meat, mix and simmer for 10 minutes.

This looks perfect, Anne. I need to follow some sort of measurements instead of my pour in the palm and dump method. This will be a delicious formula from which to start! Thank you
