Homemade Taco Seasoning

You know those little spice packets you can buy at the store? Those typically are filled with junk and 50 times the amount of salt you actually need. I FINALLY found a homemade taco seasoning recipe that I love. It is perfect and most of the ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen.

Homemade Taco Seasoning

1 Tbsp. Chili Powder

1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder

1/4 tsp. Onion Powder

1/8 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper (You could up this amount if you wanted it spicier!)

1/4 tsp. Oregano

1/2 tsp. Paprika

1 1/2 tsp. Cumin

1/2 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Black Pepper

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and YOU'RE DONE!

How simple is that?!?! 

This recipe makes the equivalent to 1 seasoning packet!

-- To use for ground beef tacos...

Cook beef fully and drain grease.

Return beef to skillet and put on med-low heat. Add seasoning mixture and 1/4 cup water. 

Stir to evenly distribute seasonings and cook until water is gone. Stirring frequently.
