Brad and I love Tacos, fajitas, salsa... any dish with a touch of Mexican flair. But for all the other spice lovers out there, you know how expensive a little packet of seasoning can get! Thankfully, there's a better way.
Did you know you can make your own Taco Seasoning mix for a fraction of the cost? And what's more, it's healthier too. No MSG, BHT, ABCs or any other type of cancer-causing preservatives added to the mix. Just your regular old spices ground together to make a stronger, cheaper, and better flavor than any pre-packaged seasoning mix out there.
Shhhh! Just don't tell Old El Paso our little secret. It might not be so good for his business once you try it and get hooked.
Here's how to make your own yummy Taco seasoning-for cheap!
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 tbs chili powder 1/4 tsp. red pepper 1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
This recipe seasons 1 lb. of ground hamburg or cubed chicken very well. Decrease the amounts a little if you don't want it very spicy. Feel free to experiment with the measurements of each ingredient to suit your taste. Sometimes I like to add cayenne pepper, or curry to the mix as well.
