I love this series, Tightwad Tuesday, that is so graciously hosted by Mary. I am getting so many great ideas, and hopefully helping others out at the same time. Win-win!
In keeping with my last TT tip, Homemade Stir Fry Seasoning, I thought I would keep to homemade seasoning mixes for awhile. Those silly packets in the store are ridiculously expensive, and completely unnecessary as we usually have all the ingredients to make our own at home. It goes without saying that it's automatically healthier as well, since we know what is going in it. So, my Tightwad Tuesday Tip is Homemade Taco Seasoning. We add Taco Seasoning to ground chicken meat for regular tacos, in some soups for added flavor, or to black beans that we put into whole wheat tortillas for a delicious soft taco. You could add it to popcorn for a southwest fiesta taste, too - OLE! Whatever your creation, I hope you enjoy this recipe.
Homemade Taco Seasoning
-
1 cup dried minced onion
-
1/3 cup chili powder
-
2 tablespoons cumin
-
4 teaspoons crushed red pepper
-
1 tablespoon oregano
-
4 teaspoons garlic powder
-
2 teaspoons onion powder
Combine all ingredients and store in a cool, dry place. To use, a general guideline is 1 tablespoon for every pound of ground meat; adjust to your family's taste.
