Taco Seasoning Recipe {Large Batch}

By | September 3, 2014

The other day I was looking at the commercial brand taco seasoning container. I noticed on the ingredients list that it included all sorts of stuff that was not just seasoning. At that point, I decided to try and make my own Taco Seasoning Recipe to lessen the amount of all those extra chemicals, preservatives, etc that my family ingests. Every little bit helps, right?

      This isn’t spicy to me. However, I’m used to spicy stuff. So if you’re concerned about that leave out the red pepper flake. You can always add it in, but you can’t take it out. 🙂
