Tips
DIY Taco Seasoning
Skip the packaged blends and make your taco seasoning that’s ready to go whenever you need it. Simply mix together 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 2 teaspoons sea salt, 2 teaspoons black pepper, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Store in an airtight container.
