Have you ever read
the ingredients label on your taco seasoning packet? Sadly, we average two taco
dinners a week and I always assumed the ingredients were pretty straight
forward, just a bunch of spices. I could not have been more wrong. In fact,
store bought seasoning is riddled with MSG and full of other nasty things {like MILK SUGAR! Yes, MILK!}.
Just see for yourself!
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Ground Cumin
1/4 cup Garlic Powder
1/4 cup Chili Powder
1/4 cup Onion Powder
4 tbsp Crushed Red Peper
Directions:
Mix all ingredients together! Store in freezer.
Yields approximately 1.25 cups of taco seasoning {which is more than 10 packets of store bought taco seasoning}!
Happy {healthy} Taco Night, Friends!

This is super late, but I have used and referred to this so many times since finding your blog last July. I felt like I really needed to come say THANK YOU! Just made some yummy black bean veggie burgers using this stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteHow much of this would you use per pound of ground beef?
