Homemade Taco Seasoning

The taco's distinguishing feature is the smell and taste of the seasoning. If you make your own spice mix, you get a different aroma from the bought ones, and you can make the combination you like the best! This recipe is a good starting point for making your own mixture - experiment with the quantities, or add other spices such as fennel seeds or perhaps a little sprinkle of cinnamon to get your own magical mixture! Double or triple the quantity and you will have enough for several taco nights.

ingredienser
