Homemade Taco Seasoning

I was asked to make the food for IF:Gathering this year. We had decided on a nacho bar for our Friday night "heavy" snack. We also had someone coming who was gluten free/dairy free and, y'all, gluten is in everything. So, I decided that I needed to make a from scratch taco seasoning and this is perfect. It is not too mild and it is not too spicy. The recipe below is for one pound of meat. So x30 that thing and put it in a container in your pantry! 


Ingredients

1 tablespoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon paprika
1½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Combine all seasonings together and store in an airtight container.
I used one recipe in one pound of meat. Recipe can easily be doubled and use more or less to taste. I also like to add ½ cup of water to the meat and seasonings to make the meat more moist. 

This is super good on shredded chicken, if you like chicken tacos.
