Homemade Taco Seasoning

I've been wanting to make this for a really long time. I like that it's natural ingredients, no preservatives and a lot less processed. And it is AMAZINGLY delicious! I feel like the flavors pop a lot more when it's homemade than out of the pouch. I made mine and stored it in a mason jar as well. Have fun!

*Note: I quadruple the recipe and store it in an airtight container in my spice cabinet so I don’t have to assemble the mix each time I need taco seasoning. I also frequently sub in smoked paprika for the regular paprika to give it a different, well, smoky flavor.

INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

DIRECTIONS:
Mix all spices together until well combined. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in your spice cabinet and use as needed.

*One pouch of taco seasoning is about 4 tablespoons

**A mason jar will hold 8x this recipe. Mel quadruples it... I did that twice. :)
