Taco Seasoning Recipe

After writing this post, and being unable to find a packaged taco seasoning made without sugar or chemicals, I decided to try a home made version.

I found this recipe on the Low Carb Friends website and asked Bob to mix up a batch while I was out doing pre-wedding stuff. Oh boy... more on that later.

Anyway, he made a double batch and now we have a container of taco seasoning ready to go whenever we need it. We usually use ground turkey for our tacos (last night it was taco salad). After trying this (delicious), I have no idea why we bought packets of seasoning all these years. It's more expensive, and has more fillers.

And this is so easy to make... just leave the house, come back and it's done! ;-)

The Ingredients:

1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons cumin
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 1/2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/8- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne

How To Prepare:
Mix all ingredients well and store in an airtight jar. I use 2 tablespoons of seasonings per pound of meat.

Recipe makes about 8 tablespoons, or 4 batches worth.
