Taco Seasoning

Have you ever read the back of the packet of taco seasoning you picked up at the store?  I picked up one recently that contained whole wheat flour, sugar, lactose and "natural flavor."  Really?  What the heck is "natural flavor" anyway?  That just doesn't sound, well, natural.  So, I give you a recipe for taco seasoning that really IS natural.  You can throw it together in minutes and the good news is you can double or triple it and keep it on hand for a quick, easy taco fix anytime!  

Taco Seasoning (allrecipes.com)

1 T. chili powder

1/4 t. garlic powder

1/4 t. onion powder

1/4 t. crushed red pepper

1/4 t. dried oregano

1/2 t. paprika

1 1/2 t. ground cumin

1 t. sea salt

1 t. black pepper

This makes enough taco seasoning for 1 to 1 1/2 lb. ground meat (I use turkey) depending on how spicy you like your taco meat.

No calories here!  :)
