Make Your Own Taco Seasoning

Okay so my plan was to have a bunch of awesome dishes/appetizers for Cinco de Mayo to share with you all!  However, life is a bit crazy right now and time got away from me.  I do- however- have a great recipe for making your own taco seasoning.  I am excited to give this a try!

Ingredients:

• 6 teaspoons chili powder
• 5 teaspoons paprika
• 4.5 teaspoons cumin
• 2.5 teaspoons onion powder
• .5 teaspoons garlic powder
• .125 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• .5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl. Use in recipes as directed. (7 teaspoons of mix equals one store-bought package.)

Freezing Directions:

Not required. Store at room temperature in a clean spice jar or other air tight container (glass preferred) for up to 6 months.

Servings: 21 teaspoons (equivalent to 3 store-bought packages)
