Homemade Taco Seasoning

I usually triple this recipe and store in a mason jar for future use. When I make taco meat, I use around 1/8 cup of seasoning and 1/2 - 3/4 cup water with 1 lb. of ground beef.

Ingredients:

1 T. chili powder

¼ tsp. garlic powder

¼ tsp. onion powder

¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (I usually cut this in half since we have kids)

¼ tsp. dried oregano

½ tsp. paprika

1 ½ tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. sea salt

1 tsp. black pepper

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container.
