I like to make my own taco seasoning because I can adjust the number of spices. I also feel better about knowing what exactly is in the taco seasoning. Plus, I use very little taco seasoning when I make tacos because I have a picky hubby, especially with Mexican food. A few years ago, I would rarely make Mexican cuisine at home. Instead, I would go to restaurants to fulfill my cravings for Mexican cuisine. I’m glad I can now make Mexican food at home.
Here is a recipe for Taco Seasoning that I found on the Copy Kat website.
