Make your own seasoning

This is just a quick blog post (so I can pin it) hee hee

I found this recipe for making your own taco seasoning (which we use a ton).
It is so simple and it seams you could make a larger batch to put in a mason jar.

I found three different recipes and posting all.

1st Recipe

• 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp onion powder
• 1/8 tsp ground red pepper
• 1/8 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

2nd Recipe
1 part chili powder
1 part ground cumin
1 part garlic powder
1 part onion powder
1/4 – 1/2 part crushed red pepper

Directions

1. Mix all the spices together and store in an airtight container.  Use sparingly or liberally. 

3rd Recipe

source

1 tablespoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Store in an airtight container. Yields about 2 3/4 tablespoons.

To use: Use about 2 tablespoons of the taco seasoning for every 1 pound of meat. Use more or less depending on your preference. Brown meat and drain the fat. Add your taco seasoning along with about 1/2 cup of water. Simmer and stir until water is absorbed. If you want more of a sauce throw in about 2 tablespoons of flour with the water.
