Mexican Seasoning

Homemade Taco Seasoning is the best! So easy to prepare with a mix of chili powder, cumin, garlic, cayenne pepper - and I add paprika, too.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chili powder
  • 1/4 cup paprika
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together all ingredients. Store in an air tight container.

Notes

A trick we learned from cousin and fabulous home gourmet Jim Kidwell is to use a blend of various chili powders - chipotle, ancho, hot, etc. You can find them with the Mexican food in major grocery stores, at farmer’s markets and specialty spice stores.
