Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe

New-Cover-For-All

I’ve always enjoyed Chicken or Fish tacos far more than beef. I figured it was the taste or texture of the beef that I didn’t like. That is until I tried tacos with homemade taco seasoning! Now I not only like beef tacos, but I actually enjoy them!!! It is so easy and quick to make homemade taco seasoning, but it makes such a difference when it comes to depth of flavor in your tacos!!! Once you try making your own seasoning for tacos, you’ll NEVER buy the seasoning packets again~!!!

Have you tried making your own taco seasoning??? If not, I highly encourage you to try it! You’ll never go back~!!!

Now I haven’t tried this on fish, seafood or chicken tacos, but I’m sure it would be very tasty~!!! I’ll be trying that next! If you try this seasoning on different kinds of tacos, let me know how it turns out! I’d love to hear from you!!!

Now that I’ve shared my taco seasoning recipe, on Monday I’ll share with you the Crunchwrap Supreme Recipe (a new favorite of ours) which utilizes this seasoning!!! Its SO delicious and so much healthier than its Taco Bell counterpart~!!!
