Making your taco seasoning at home is cheap and you can control exactly what goes into it!
I love making recipes with ingredients I can pronounce. I also love making recipes whose sole directions are “mix all ingredients together”. For that reason alone, why wouldn’t you make this yourself instead of buying the packets at the store? Don’t say because you’re lazy because I’m lazy too and I did it. You probably have all these ingredients in your cupboard anyway. Plus, you’ll save money.
You can modify it however you like – maybe add some sea salt or ground pepper. Or red pepper flakes. Up to you.
