Tuesday Tip of the Day ~ Make Your Own Taco Seasoning

I started making my own taco seasoning a couple of years ago.

It is so much better than the packets of prepared seasoning.

And, the ingredients are probably already in your spice rack.

Taco Seasoning

1 tbsp. Chili Powder

1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder

1/4 tsp. Onion Powder

1/4 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

1/4 tsp. Dried Oregano

1/4 tsp. Dried Basil

1/2 tsp. Paprika

1 1/2 tsp. Cumin

1 tsp. Black Pepper

When I have all the spices out, 

I make several batches and keep them handy.

Add to browned ground beef and simmer with a little water.

I like the taco meat in a salad with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and crushed tortilla chips.

Hubby likes Super Nachos with tortilla chips, meat, cheese, 

salsa and sour cream.

I have also used it to season chicken.

With sauteed peppers and onions,

it makes a tasty fajita meal.
