Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix together chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Store in an airtight container. Season to taste.

Notes

I like to make 3 or 4 times what the recipe calls for so I can season to taste and save some in a jar for next time.

For 1lb of ground beef, I added 2 TBSP of the taco seasoning mix and it was just the right amount of flavor and kick.

I doubled this recipe and it comes to about 1/2 cup.

• 1/4 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
