Taco/Chili Seasoning

As requested by my roommate, Sarah Jane!

Taco Seasoning - NOT from a Packet!! (Yes, it works that way!)

1 tablespoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (I use granulated garlic)

1/4 teaspoon onion powder (or dried, minced onion)

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon sea salt (optional...to me, anyway)

1 teaspoon black pepper

Put it all together in a jar, and mix it up!  This recipe only makes about 2 Tablespoons worth of seasoning, and I usually use 3 or 4 Tablespoons per 12 oz. package of Quorn Grounds.  So, double...triple...quadruple the recipe for feeding a family, or just to keep on hand.  It keeps just like the rest of your spices.  Just throw it into a dry, well sealed jar.  You know you have an empty almond butter or coconut oil jar hanging around in your cupboards, somewhere.  Right?

I will follow up, tomorrow, with a post about my favorite way to use this seasoning mix.  It works great for chili, too!

Let me know what you think!
