Taco Seasoning



Mtn Man has issues with the packaged taco seasoning so I thought I would find a recipe that I could make here at home. I found one (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/taco-seasoning-i/) that works for us.

When I use it I add 2 Tbls to 1 lb of ground meat.

Recipe:
1 Tbs. Chili Powder
1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp. Onion Powder
1/4 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes or Cayenne works too
1/4 tsp Dried Oregano or Herb Mix 
1/2 tsp Paprika
1 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Pepper
Store in an airtight container such as a jelly jar with a canning lid.

Enjoy!
