Do you ever need something that you forgot at the store and then search online to find out if you can make it yourself? Well I did that with taco seasoning and I've never gone back. I keep this on hand at all times. The best part, I know what is going inside and I can control the level of spice. As some of you may know, I do not do much heat or spice with many foods. My husband doesn't mind, thankfully. He will usually add more spice to the dish after its been cooked.
Yes, spices can be expensive. However, in the bulk sections they can be much cheaper. For example, at our local Natural Grocers we got almost a half pound of chili powder for $3.43, it almost felt like I was stealing it. Of course this will last us for awhile, but at least we got it for a decent price and anything not going in our spice drawer, will be refrigerated for future use.
Ingredients:
6 teaspoons chili powder
5 teaspoons paprika
4 1/2 teaspoons cumin
2 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (I will go 1/8 for a little less heat)
1 teaspoon salt
1/5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
1. Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl.
2. Store in a glass jar. I use a small jelly jar and label with the details.
Use 7 teaspoons of mix for 1 packet of store bought package.
