A great way to use up spices! Thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing, I’ve always wondered if there was a way to make this at home.
How much water do you add?
We’re actually going to have tacos tonight. Usually we just buy a packet of taco seasoning but I think you’ve inspired me to have a go at making it myself this time.
This recipe was a hit with my family, its way better than the packaged taco seasoning!
I’m never going back to the packets! Thanks so much for sharing this – finally I can tweak taco seasoning!
