Homemade Mild Taco Seasoning

Taco seasoning from packets can be hit or miss- some are too spicy for my kids and many have freeze dried onions in them- I prefer to saute fresh onions with the meat. Making the seasoning at home is so simple and you can flavor it to exactly how you like it- you can leave out the salt, add more cumin if you prefer, or just keep it simple like the recipe below.

The ingredients look beautiful before mixed

                                                 Use an old spice jar for your seasonings
