Homemade Taco Seasoning Mixes (2 to choose from)

I haven't tried either of these yet, but plan on doing so very soon...

Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix #1

Taco Seasoning Mix

This works splendidly for seasoning up refried beans and fajitas or any Mexican dish!

6 tsp chili powder

4 ½ tsp cumin

5 tsp paprika

3 tsp onion powder

2 ½ tsp garlic powder

1/8 – ¼ tsp cayenne pepper

Mix all the ingredients, and store in an air-tight container. The homemade mix is twice as strong as the store-bought one, so add only half as much.
