Homemade Taco Seasoning


So, when you look at this long list of ingredients to make a homemade taco seasoning, you might think that it looks similar in length to the pre-packaged version.  But, I promise this is much healthier without the MSG, additives, and preservatives.  I mix this up and only use a little at a time, so it goes a long way.  Now you know everything that went into your seasoned food and can rest assured it's processed free.

2 Tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. cayenne
2 tsp. paprika
2 Tbsp. ground cumin
4 tsp. ground coriander
2 tsp. sea salt
2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. dried marjoram
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes (optional)

Mix everything together and store in a jar or air tight container.  If you like things more spicy, double the chili powder and maybe even the red pepper flakes.  I can tell you my husband would love that, but I have to make this not too spicy for the kids.
