Real Food Taco Seasoning

Did you know that store bought taco seasoning contains ingredients that really have no business in taco seasoning?  After reading this post from 100 Days of Real Food (a great blog PS) I made a pledge to DIY this spice blend going forward.  I mean, I don't know about you, but I have never seen Maltodextrin at the grocery store.  Making your own taco seasoning is simple, takes 2 seconds, and you likely have all the ingredients at home! Here is her recipe - I used it to whip up a tasty taco salad at the cabin!  You can see the taco meat spice hidden there under all the other taco salad deliciousness!

Servings: This recipe is enough to season 1 lb of ground meat
Serving Size: Whole recipe
Points Plus: 0pp
Prep Time: 2 seconds
Cook Time: NA
Level of Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
1 1/2 t chili powder
1 t cumin
1/2 t oregano
A dash of kosher salt and pepper

Directions
Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix them up!  Be creative!  If you love spice, add more chili powder.  If you cumin (like me) add more cumin!

Tip
Quadruple (or more) this recipe, stick it into an air tight container and store with your spices.  Use any time you need a Mexican flavor!

XOXO - Katie
