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

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.
