You probably already have all the spices in your cabinet to make a taco mix instead of buying a premixed package. Once I thought about taco seasoning not being a spice and just a combo of what I already had, I saw no need to buy a mix again. The extra benefit to making your own is controlling the salt and reconizing each ingredient. The amount of each spice can be adjusted to your family’s liking. Enjoy!
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 to 1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. black pepper
Combine all seasonings. This is equal to a 1-oz. package of store bought taco mix. If using for tacos, add 1/2 to 3/4 cups of water to the dish in addition to the seasoning mix.

I needed some taco seasoning for my taco salad tonight. I had everything I needed to make my own. Presto, I have taco seasoning. Nice to be able to make my own. Thanks Martha
