Taco Seasoning

This taco seasoning recipe came together after realizing that we’d forgotten to pick up the normal seasoning packet for Taco Tuesday. In a slight panic, we scrambled to come with our own substitute seasoning and this was the result. It’s incredibly easy to put together and provides just as much – if not more – flavour that the store-bought variety.
This is a great blend of heat and smokiness that’s perfect for tacos, fajitas, and burritos. And, like many of our other recipes, after trying this one we are now very hesitant to go back to the old stuff.
