With my love of spicy food, it is no surprise that I love tacos of all kinds; chicken, fish, beef, vegetable. While I’m constantly experimenting with different taco combinations, I will always have a special place in my heart for the standard ground beef taco that you grew up with. What I struggle with is store bought taco seasonings is the excess salt content, making it impossible to add more seasoning flavor without choking on all the salt. My solution? Make taco seasoning at home! It may seem like a simple solution, but a lot of people buy the packaged seasoning without thinking about it. Chances are you already have everything you need to put this together. Give it a try and I’m confident you will never be tempted to go store bought again. Plus, with how simple this is to do, grab an extra mason jar and share the love with a friend.
