During our weeks of staying at home and lots of experimenting in the kitchen, I decided to make my own taco seasoning. If I’m being honest, I ran out of taco seasoning and I needed taco seasoning. After a few times of playing with seasoning and measurements, I found a combination that made my guys say “throw out the pre-made stuff.” Complete Win in the Kitchen.

When I make tacos, I usually prepare 2 lbs of ground beef, turkey or chicken. I DOUBLE the following recipe to add to our tacos. BUT, when you have time you need to make up extra just to sprinkle on your black beans, scrambled eggs, popcorn, you see where I’m going. This has such a yummy flavor you will add it to lots of things.

Happy Taco Tuesday,

Make your own Taco Seasoning

1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika (you can use plain paprika)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (add more if you want more kick)

Combine all the seasonings.  Add to your ground beef for tacos.  Add a few shakes to your black beans.  Add to your scrambled eggs.  Yum!!  Store in a sealed container if you don’t use all.
