Taco Seasoning

My family asked for this recipe, so I thought I'd put it on the blog so I could find it quickly. Even though I can easily get taco seasoning packets for free with coupons, I make it myself to avoid all of the additives, MSG and sodium in the pre-made packets.

And it tastes SO much better.

I just use a pinch of red pepper flakes since 1/4 tsp was a little too spicy for the kids. And I've found chili powder in the "hispanic-ethnic foods section" of the grocery store for much cheaper than McCormick or store-brand chili powder. (Unless you have a McCormick coupon that doubles during Super Doubles!)

This recipe equals one pack. Stir the following together and use as you would any recipe that calls for a packet of taco seasoning.

1 TBSP chili powder

1/4 tsp of each: garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and oregano

1 and 1/2 tsp of cumin

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper
