Make Your Own Taco Seasoning

I'm trying to get away from store bought seasoning packets wherever possible and instead rely on seasoning dishes myself with actual herbs and spices.  No chemicals.  Less salt.  Better flavor.  Win.

This combination of seasonings makes a great replacement for store bought taco seasoning!

Recipe: (from Sweet Peas and Pumpkins)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or hot chili powder
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Mix it together and add to dishes as you would 1 package of store-bought taco seasoning.

We've used it a few times and love it.  Plus, these are pretty standard spices in my kitchen, unlike taco seasoning packages, so it's one less thing that I have to remember to pick up at the grocery store!
