Taco seasoning is a great spice blend that helps to easily create a mexican flavour in many recipes.
Yes, you can buy it at the store, but it is very expensive compared to making it yourself.
Benefits to DIY’ing it include:
- You can adjust the blend to suit your tastes
- Make it hot and spicy by adding cayenne pepper
- Swap out the sweet paprika for smoked
- Avoid unwanted fillers and allergens
Give this recipe a try and always be ready to create tacos and other recipes with deep flavours.
