Homemade Taco Seasoning

Ok, so here comes a small/short story. When I was pregnant, an easy meal was the one that was gonna get cooked lol....BUT my problem with easy was sodium content was out of control on almost everything easy. My doctor put me on low sodium due to some complications, and I found this almost impossible! My friends who cooked and delivered low sodium meals to me (I haven't forgotten, you wonderful people who I call my dearest friends) can probably testify to this as well. Bless their darlin' hearts for loving me that much.

So here comes my end to my story, Tacos are easy, a hit for the hubby and the child, so I researched the ingredients in the seasoning and found an excellent recipe from allrecipes.com  I have been mixing this now for almost two years, it lasts for a long time, and man of man is it CHEAP!

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
(I add one more ingredient) 1 Tablespoon minced onion (even though the onion powder is in it)

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container. I use a small Ziploc container and put ingredients on the container so I have easy access to recipe at any given moment.

I use 1 Tablespoon per pound of ground meat.
