I found myself in a pinch for taco seasoning since I had forgotten to pick some up at the store. I was all prepared or so I thought, to make taco salad. I usually use the taco seasoning in the paper packets(doesn't everyone?). With always having several different spices and seasonings on hand, I figured I had all the ingredients in the cupboard and that I could probably manage a close enough copy to the package type.
I found my homemade version to be very tasty, I really liked it and this recipe will be what I'll use from now on. Also I can feel better about it too, since I know exactly what is in it! I like that I can I make it fresh when needed and I think it even looks more appealing too.
