So I'm getting ready to make enchiladas and realize, "Crap, I forgot to buy taco seasoning." I start trying to decide if I can talk Drew into stopping for some on his way home from work so I don't have to. Then I remember, "Didn't I pin
a taco seasoning recipe a few months ago??" I grab my phone and search for the pin. Found it! I scan the ingredients and check my
spice drawer. Yep, I have everything! I whipped up a small batch and used it. Guess what? It was fantastic! I've used this recipe in with beef (enchiladas) and chicken (quesadillas). I think it has great flavor and tastes way better than any of the little packets you buy at the store. Plus, since I already had everything on hand, it seemed like I was getting seasoning for free!
Ingredients:
1 part chili powder
1 part onion powder
1 part cumin powder
1 part garlic powder
1/4 part red pepper flakes
My "parts" were teaspoons. When I mixed my batch, I alternated 1 teaspoon of each ingredient (and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper) until the jar was full.
It's like those jars of colored sand you buy a beach souvenir shops, except with spices.
Next just screw the lid back on and shake it up!
When cooking, I usually use 1-2 teaspoons of the mixture, depending on how much food I'm seasoning.
