You’ll notice the title to this blog is a little different. It includes a hashtag #GetWellMichelle. That’s because I’m sharing a recipe from my friend and colleague Michelle. She blogs over at A Dish of Daily Life. Michelle has a wonderful blog sharing stories and recipes for delicious meals, travel and a bit about the happenings of daily life. Michelle had surgery recently so a bunch of us food bloggers got together to share some of our favorite recipes from her blog.

I chose to share her recipes for Taco Seasoning.

Homemade Taco Seasoning

You know me….I love a great taco! I’ve shared a ton of taco recipes with you – like my Baja Fish Tacos, Roasted Vegetables Tacos with Avo Lime Sauce and even tacos made in the slow cooker! There’s even more, just go to search and type in taco to see what you find. I’m thinking because I’m such a fan, maybe you are too. So…. I knew you’d love this recipe for Taco Seasoning. That way you don’t have to purchase an expensive packet of taco seasoning and you’ll always have it available. Why buy a packet when you have everything you need to make this at home?!!!

Chili powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, garlic & onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt & pepper. That’s all it takes!

Homemade Taco Seasoning

Mix it all up and store it in an airtight container. It will keep for months. You only use two tablespoons per pound of meat, so this will last for several meals.

Mix it all together and store it in an airtight container.

This will be perfect substitute for the packet for one of my favorite meals and most popular recipes on the blog – taco soup!

Taco Soup

It took less than 10 minutes for me to put the taco seasoning together. Simply store in in an airtight container and it will last for months. Next time you need seasoning add two tablespoons per one pound of meat. Easy enough, right?

Flavorful and delicious too!

Here’s the recipe below! If you have a chance, swing by A Dish of Daily Life and check out the blog, I know you’ll really enjoy the recipes and the read!
