Homemade Taco Seasoning

One of the things I had to figure out right away when my son was diagnosed with his food allergies was how to make a taco seasoning that we liked.  You have to be so careful which brands of spices you purchase because many contain soy or are made in a factory with other allergens.  We have been very happy with McCormick brand and many organic brands.

It amazed me how it took several tries to get the recipe flavor to our liking.  I hope you will enjoy the recipe that I have come up with as I have adapted to our family's taste buds!  Happy cooking!

2 TBSP chili powder
1 TBSP cumin
1 TBSP paprika

1 TBSP oregano
1 TBSP onion powder
1 TBSP garlic powder
1 TBSP regular salt or "Real Salt"
1/2 TBSP pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Pour all spices into a canning 1/2 pt jar.  Put lid on tightly and shake well until all spices are well combined.  You can make it in bigger batches, of course, just use a larger jar.
