Save money and unwanted ingredients by making this Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe. Homemade Taco Seasoning RecipeWhen you start reading food labels and paying attention to ingredients, you realize that buying spice packets is not always the healthiest option. Most of the time they have extra ingredients, like oils and starches that aren’t needed, and chances are they have hidden MSG.

It’s so convenient to have certain spices mixes on hand, though. The good news is that making your own homemade spice mixes, like this homemade taco seasoning recipe, is SO easy. It takes about five minutes to mix the spices together, and then you have the mix on hand whenever you want to make something with a little taco spice.Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe

I’ve tinkered with different combinations and found the two combinations we like best. There’s a mild version with no chili powder that gives excellent flavor without any heat. Add the chili powder for a little bit of heat. Our kids can’t handle any kind of spice, but I love it. Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe
