A couple of years ago I found this recipe searching the web and came across this version of taco seasoning from Allrecipes.com. It’s been a staple in our kitchen ever since.
Here’s the deal. This is where you are going to be your own boss. I’ll give you the ingredients and measurements, it’s up to YOUR tastebuds to decide if you want a little more of this or that.
For instance, garlic abounds in our house. I put a little extra heap to my spoon. I want to control the salt so a little less in my blend. You get the picture. When blending seasonings for this recipe, I’ll provide the “guidelines”. You get to take from there.
Sprinkle your homemade Taco Seasoning on browned ground beef or turkey, chicken for fajitas, pork or shrimp. It’s a delicious blend I make over and over.
