Homemade Taco Seasoning

Taco seasoning is so simple to make at home.  I make a big batch and store it in a small mason jar.  Customize this recipe to how you like it adding in more or less of your favorite spices.

  3. I can't wait to try this. I buy my spices at the local health store and have been trying to get completely away from all pre-packaged food... I was wondering what you mean by crushed pepper.... do you mean red pepper flakes? Or something else...
