Who all uses the Taco Seasoning Packages? Is it legal?
Who all makes their own? I have the ingredients to make your own, was just wondering who all did this?

Can you post the recipe/spice mix to make your own?
Taco Seasoning
6 teaspoons chili powder
5 teaspoons paprika
4 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 teaspoons onion powder
2 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Combine in tight lid container for up to 6 months
I used to make this on from Robin Miller's once a week cooking, and it tastes just like the mixes only better! Since is was once a week cooking, the meat started off as lasagna meat sauce, and seasonings were added to make the tacos. It is really good:
Lasagna Filling:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 pounds lean ground beef or ground turkey
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 (28-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (14-ounce) can tomato sauce
For tacos add:
2 cups leftover lasagna filling
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
I totally use the one from President's Choice (yet another reason to shop in Canada!). The "blue label" one is low sodium, and has nothing bad in it.
