Homemade Taco Seasoning

Taco night is always a success in our home, and it's one of the easiest and quickest meals to bring together. When I'm at a loss for what to make for dinner, I can usually pull together a taco meal in some form or another. One of the things I always keep on hand in order to make that possible is my homemade Taco Seasoning. The stuff you find in the grocery store is full of dehydrated corn syrup and MSG. If you don't know why MSG wreaks havoc on your body, read here: MSG: The Shocking Truth. And who wants genetically engineered corn syrup in their taco seasoning? It's just not necessary, especially when it is SO easy to make your own.

This seasoning is great for any kind of meat you wish to use for tacos or fajitas- chicken, beef, pork, whatever. Or, if you're doing veggie tacos, toss this seasoning on your sauteed peppers and onions. This seasoning is not just for taco night though! You can throw it in soups and stews for an awesome slow-cooked flavor. Mix a couple of teaspoons into some homemade Greek Yogurt for a tasty dip or dressing for a salad. The beautiful thing about making our own seasoning blends is that you can really taylor it to your preferences. If you don't like it so spicy, leave out the cayenne...I'll never know! If you like it a little smokier, get wild and crazy and use smoked paprika instead of sweet paprika.Just do whatever you like! Have fun with it! Here's the recipe, if you can even call it that.

Ingredients:
-2 tbsp chilli powder
-2 tsp oregano
-1 tsp garlic powder
-1 tsp onion powder

-1 tsp sea salt
-1/2 tsp black pepper
-1/4 tsp crushed red pepper or cayenne
