Taco Seasoning

Do you buy taco seasoning packages? I used to. It is packed with lots of sugar, preservatives and worst of all MSG or one of those aliases it goes by such as "natural flavoring".  It should be illegal to call a so called "flavor enhancer" NATURAL!

Here is a great combinations that is easy to mix up and store for every time you want to make tacos. This isn't my original recipe but I've been using it for so long I don't remember where I first found it.
