Taco Seasoning Mix

As you can probably tell, our family loves Mexican and Spanish flavors.  A lot of our recipes call for a Taco Seasoning packet, but we have our own stash of homemade Taco mix. It's a  lot less sodium than the packets, and you know exactly what goes into it. From here on out, any future recipes will call for "Taco Seasoning Mix". Since we use a lot of salsa, I used a cleaned & dried jar as the container.

Each batch yields about 8 servings. 

Ingredients

• 4 tbsps. chili powder
• 4 tsps. corn starch
• 4 tsps. oregano
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 2 tsp. paprika
• 2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 tsp. coarse sea salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 1 tsp. cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Measure & combine all seasonings and mix well. Store in an air-tight container.
2. Use in place of a packet of taco seasoning.
3. Use 2 tablespoons of seasoning per pound of taco meat.
4. When you make tacos, brown meat and drain excess fat. Add in 2 tablespoons seasoning per pound of meat along with 2/3 cup water.

Spices + clean jar.
