Welcome to my first linkup for Marriage and Menu Mondays!  This week I want to share a great recipe with you all.

We love tacos, mexican crockpot chicken, and chicken quesadillas at our house.  A few years ago, I started making our taco seasoning.  Store bought seasoning contain lots of additives and some nasty preservatives.  Not to mention, the funky after taste?  What’s up with that?

Here is a super easy alternative that you can make up in bulk, or just as you are cooking dinner.  {Though I recommend making a large batch and storing in a pretty mason jar}

Homemade Taco Seasoning {DIY}

• 1Tbsp of chilli powder
• 1 1/2 tsp smoky ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp sweet paprika {or regular paprika will be fine}
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp minced dried onion or onion powder {I use minced}
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp real Himalayan salt
• black pepper to taste

This recipe doesn’t make much.  I started out making it each time I needed it, but now I make it in bulk & keep it in a wide mouth mason jar in my spice cabinet.  {looks like it is time to make some more!}

Homemade taco seasoning is healthier, cheaper, and just as easy as store bought.

Enjoy the Marriage and Menu Monday link up this week- Be blessed friends!
