I swore by one particular brand of store-bought taco seasoning mix until one day I turned it over, looked at the ingredients, and realized that it was laden with MSG. Needless to say my heart was broken. In the middle of a major taco craving, I took whatever I thought might go into a taco seasoning mix and threw it together. Thank God it turned out right the first time or I would’ve eaten just the taco shell that night.
Taco Seasoning Mix from Quick and Easy Vegan Comfort Food
Makes 1/3 cup
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons paprika
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon pepper
Mix together all the ingredients in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.
I'm going to give this a try!
ReplyDeleteIs this spicy? I could reduce the amount of cayenne and chili powder for the kids if it is.
ReplyDeleteHey Ivy! It's not too spicy. The recipe makes 1/3 cup and I use about 2 tablespoons for tacos so it's definitely not that spicy. Hope you like it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this - most of the taco kits come with a spice mix that contains chicken products - so this is very helpful!
