Homemade Taco Seasoning uses every day spices, can be whipped up in minutes, stores well and can be used in many recipes.
Cinco de Mayo is next Monday, May 5th. I thought I would dedicate this week to Mexican recipes.
First up is my recipe for Homemade Taco Seasoning. I know you are probably thinking it’s just as easy to buy taco seasoning at the grocery store but I will tell you Homemade Taco Seasoning has NO MSG, store bought does. No one likes MSG, but it is out there in a lot of items at the grocery store. Here is a simple way to cut back on MSG.
I love Mexican food, I hope you enjoy the recipes I will share this week.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. chili powder

Here is the line up of spices used.
Mix all the spices together.
Store in an air tight container.
