My scribbled recipe card says I got this recipe from allrecipes.com, but I'm not sure I could find the exact one again. We had a family over from our old church that has a son with a gluten allergy. I never thought about that being an issue with taco seasoning, but his mother mentioned it. I looked at the packages in the store and was surprised at the ingredients. I have become a label reader and had narrowed down my pick of seasoning to one, but that one appeared to have gluten ingredients...and I had wanted to start making my own seasoning anyway, so this seemed like a good time to try it out. I actually tried three different recipes. My family deemed this one the winner:
1 Tbl chili powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flacks (original recipe says OR 1/8 tsp cayenne)
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin (original recipe says 1 & 1/2 tsp OR 1tsp)
1 tsp sea salt (I usually leave this out...buy I have some Himalayan sea salt I might try now)
1 tsp black pepper
I watched a vlog on the Grocery Shrink one day about how she does a little assembly line of her mixes and she inspired me to do the same. So, I pull out my snack size baggies, all the seasonings and appropriate measuring utensils, and package up a bunch of these at once. I store them a tin, ready for use! I use one package per one pound of meat.
