3 tablespoons replaces 1 commercial seasoning packet.
Instead of using prepared packets of taco or fajita mixes, I realized how easy it is to make my own and save a full teaspoon of salt plus monosodium glutamate each time.
| Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| ground cumin | 5 T |
| cumin seeds (optional) | 1 T |
| chili powder | 6 T |
| garlic powder (not salt) | 1 tsp |
| onion flakes | 1 tsp |
| black pepper | 1/4 tsp |
| cayenne pepper (optional) | 1/4 - 1/2 tsp |
Directions
- Mix ingredients together.
- Place in empty spice bottle. Label and date the bottle.
- Use 3 tablespoons of the mix in place of 1 packet of commercial taco or fajita seasoning.
