Homemade Taco Seasoning

I love making things from scratch.  Especially items that are normally bought in the store.  Making homemade versions gives me a sense of accomplishment.  A "take that big companies, I don't need you".  Most items you can buy in the store a fairly easy to duplicate and you probably have most on hand already. 

One of the first things I started making myself was taco seasoning.  I was making tacos one night when I realized I forgot to buy seasoning.  I searched the net in hopes I could find a recipe for it.  Low and behold there were TONS of versions.  I've never boughten it from the store since.

Homemade Taco Seasoning

5 Tbsp Chili Powder

1 ¼ tsp Garlic Powder

1 ¼ tsp Onion Powder

1 ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper

1 ¼ tspOregano

3 ½ tsp Paprika

2 ½ tsp Ground Cumin

5 tsp Sea Salt

5 tsp Black Pepper

Combine all ingredients. Store in airtight container.  Use 1-5 Tbsp depending on taste.  I am a wuss when it comes to heat (mild salsa makes me weep) and I only use 1 Tbsp.
