Make Your Own Homemade Taco Seasoning

This Make Your Own Homemade Taco Seasoning is one of my go-to recipes to make up at home. I love to make up my own spice combos, it saves money in the long run.  Now since we do Taco Tuesday almost weekly we use a lot of taco seasoning.  The taco packets get expensive fast, plus we tweak ours as we find new spices we love too.  (I have included affiliate links to products I love.

Now typically make your own seasoning recipes have always scared me but I knew I had this one a go.  I hit up Pinterest for recipes and stumbled across this recipes on Brittany’s Pantry.  We don’t care for spicy and this recipe seemed to be really balanced on the spices.   I loved it much better than the packets and will be keeping this on hand now!! We buy our spices in bulk at Winco, and as you can see it made quite a bit of the seasoning.   I have used previously a Kraft Parmesan cheese container, but also a mason jar will work out great as well.
