Homemade Taco Seasoning

taco seasoning

Over the years, I’ve discovered that if I want to eat food free from preservatives and chemical flavors and unpronouncable additives, then I pretty much need to make it myself. I’ve also been pleasantly surprised to find that making my own typically tastes better and costs less than what I can buy in a package. This taco seasoning mix is what I add to my ground beef or pork, chicken or bean and veggie combo, whatever I’m prepping to put in my shells or tortillas on a given week. Hope you find it as easy and tasty as I do.
