I'm so excited to share the first post of a new series here on the bog. "Homemade Basics" is all about making easy, quick, tastier versions of the things you would normally grab at the grocery store. Once you switch to your own versions of sauces, seasonings, and dressings - you'll never go back! First up...
Here's what you'll need...
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 1/2 tablespoons cumin
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Here's what to do...
Mix it all up! Use 2 tablespoons of the spice mix + 2 tablespoons of water for one pound of meat, chicken, or veggies.
this is the leftover taco seasoning + my new jar + a corn tortilla.
yt and I decided we hate corn tortillas (flour tortillas only).
then we used them as frisbees like six year old boys.
after five minutes of trying to hit each other with tortillas
this happened. so mature. yes, we're getting married in may.
bye spices.
see ya jar.
bye spices.
see ya jar.
at least the seasoning was delicious!
I repeat ... flour tortillas only.
I repeat ... flour tortillas only.
i like corn tortillas but only for lazy quesadillas. And I have no idea WHY I don't make my own taco seasoning. I'm SO doing this.
ReplyDeleteI made my own taco mix once and it made such a huge difference, so much more flavor and so much less sodium!
ReplyDeleteHaha! What a sad ending. I use taco seasoning all the time so I am definitely book marking this and using in the future!
ReplyDeleteYou two are hysterical. I definitely will have to use this going forward. Now I just need to buy a jar and hope my boyfriend does not EVER see this post. If he only thought up the idea to fling tortillas around our apt... He hates flour so his would be the reverse. ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha. Oh I will definitely bookmark this Lara!
ReplyDeletehaha love this! my boyfriend and I make tacos once a week and I always just grab a packet of seasoning from the store - will definitely have to try this!

Hahaha I can totally see this happening, you two are funny :)
ReplyDeleteAh looks awesome! I'm always craving tacos over here in Germany. Just pinned this, thanks!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Great recipe! I need to try this!
ReplyDeleteThis is so handy! I never thought of making my own - I always buy the little pack at the store. I'm sure this is much better - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI make my own taco seasoning too and it's SO much better than the store bought. I don't use paprika though - I need to add that!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree!! I have a homemade seasoning like this too with one extra addition -- dried Mexican oregano!! I add it to all my Mexican-y flavored foods. So good!
ReplyDeleteHahahah that is too funny about the tortilla frisbees! Thanks for the seasoning recipe!
ReplyDeleteYum, this sounds amazing! Definitely going to give it a try!... as for the jar! Ops! But oh well, what's life without a little fun... and mess! haha
ReplyDeleteAw. Poor jar. But I would have done the same thing and I only eat Flour tortillas! Corn are like awkwardly crunchy. no bueno.
