Taco Seasoning

Taco seasoning is a great spice blend that helps to easily create a mexican flavour in many recipes.

Yes, you can buy it at the store, but it is very expensive compared to making it yourself.

Benefits to DIY’ing it include:

  • You can adjust the blend to suit your tastes
  • Make it hot and spicy by adding cayenne pepper
  • Swap out the sweet paprika for smoked
  • Avoid unwanted fillers and allergens

Give this recipe a try and always be ready to create tacos and other recipes with deep flavours.
