DIY All Natural Taco Seasoning

It's Tuesday night and of course you're making tacos for dinner. Chicken, pork, veggies or beef- No matter the base or toppings there is one thing you will need, taco seasoning, of course! You reach for your handy .49c  packet and... STOP! Those little seasoning packets might taste delicious and while they are oh so convenient, most of them contain more chemicals, additives, preservatives and excess sodium than necessary. In fact, good taco seasoning doesn't need ANY chemicals, additives, preservatives, or even salt.

Luckily there is an easy solution! Make your own. It's really not hard and in the end it comes out cheaper. It takes just a few ingredients, an empty jar and less than 5 minutes to make THE BEST taco seasoning that is all natural, will last you months, and save you money!

Recipe
Equal Parts:
Chili powder
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder
Ground Cumin

1/8-1/3 part Red Pepper Flakes (To taste- the more the spicier)

Directions
Mix all ingredients using a dry measuring utensils and place into a clean, dry glass jar.  I usually start with a Tablespoon for measuring each ingredient until my jar is full in equal proportions. If you have room in your jar you can put the lid on and shake it to evenly mix the ingredients or if you plan on filling your jar simply put all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix well then store in your jar.

I would love to hear about any variations or other homemade spice recipes!
