If you were to open my spice cupboard right now, I can guarantee you that most of it would come crashing down on you. Not because I'm THAT messy, but because I have so many spices and blends. The best part about making your own spice blends, is that you can customize it to your taste. Maybe your allergic to something, or you like it spicy, or would like to cut the salt. It's all up to you. That being said, I'm going to share with you my all time favourite taco seasoning.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (sometimes I crush these more than how they come in the store)
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt (I use Himalayan salt)
1 teaspoon black pepper (I use fresh ground)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (sometimes I crush these more than how they come in the store)
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt (I use Himalayan salt)
1 teaspoon black pepper (I use fresh ground)
Directions:
Add all the ingredients in an airtight container. Shake. And voila. You have homemade taco seasoning.
Yields 1 lb of hamburger
This recipe is completely customizable. I LOVE hot foods, so I almost always add more cayenne and red pepper flakes than the recipe calls for. Just don't do what I did and forget the cumin! That's crucial to the flavour.
