Taco Seasoning

Let's start with something simple. I'm a fan of Taco Night but have a hard time buying the pre-packaged taco seasonings - tasty, but they tend to have too many ingredients that don't seem like food and wow that's a lot of sodium.









Taco seasoning is super easy to make, cheap, customizable, and healthier. I try to buy spices at ethnic stores or Smart & Final with larger packages and much cheaper pricing.

Seasoning Mix:
1/4 cup Chili Powder
1/4 cup Cumin Powder
1 tablespoon Garlic powder
1 tablespoon Onion powder
1 teaspoon dried Oregano 
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon ground pepper
Salt and cayenne pepper to your liking

I suggest dividing up the base mixture and playing with different spice levels.

Mix, store, enjoy!
