Homemade Taco Seasoning


Last night, I made tacos & burritos for supper. Since our finances dictated that I go back to work in 2010, & I work so many nights, I don't get to cook as much as I used to. Breaks my heart. I never thought I would miss cooking for them so much, but I surely do. One of my family's favorite things for me to fix has always been my tacos & burritos along w/my homemade Pico de Gallo. Mmmm mm!

So, as I was browning the meat & adding my taco seasoning, I realized that I hadn't ever given the recipe to YOU! Like I always say: Once you start making your own products ~ whether health & beauty, home cleaning, spice mixes, etc. ~ you won't want to go back.

Here's you'll need ~

~2 TB chili powder
~1/2 ts garlic granules or powder
~1/2 ts onion powder
~1/2 ts red pepper flakes
~1 ts oregano
~1 TB cumin
~2-1/2 ts sea salt OR real salt
~2 ts. ground pepper

Directions ~

1) With a whisk, blend all ingredients together
2) Store in a clean, re-used spice shaker container OR a container with a wide enough mouth to get a measuring spoon into. Both should seal tightly.
3) Use approximately 1 to 1-1/2 TB (or to taste) to each pound of taco meat.

Enjoy!

  2. Thamk you for the recipe..I'll give it try..I'm sorry you have to return to the workforce..I work to help out also..lay off 3 years ago for my DH. What people want to pay cannot feed a family. I hope that you will be able to return to your home duties, I would like to return to mine....it is very difficult to do this when you heart and mind are not there...it is not what I would choose either..and it does break your heart...I've felt that emotion many times...
