I'm back & a quick recipe for Taco Seasoning!


Hello all!

Sorry it's been a busy couple weeks. Back to school after Winter break for the monkeys and then a week of the stomach flu this past week. Just a quick line or two and a promise to be more diligent to post more frequently.

Anyway on to the promised Taco Seasoning recipe!

Tastes almost exactly like store bought but fresher and lower sodium!

Ingredients for approx a lb. of ground meat (Beef,chicken, or turkey)

1 Tbs Chili Powder
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (decrease to 1/8 tsp for kid's recipe or for those who don't prefer a little zing)
1/4 tsp Oregano (dried)
1/2 tsp Paprika
1 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp Ground Sea Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper

I grind up sea salt & the crushed pepper flakes in a Molcajete (Mexican Mortar/Pestle) before combining.

Tip: easier to make a double batch and store 1/2 for your next batch.

Enjoy!
