Ingredients

1 tablespoon Chili powder

1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon Onion powder

1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon Dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon Paprika

1 1/2 teaspoon Ground cumin

1 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Black pepper


Directions

All you literally need to do is stir or whisk them all together, and then use the mix or store it in an airtight container. Feel free to also: Adjust the size of the batch- You can double or triple or quadruple the recipe to make even more. Adjust the level of "heat" (spicy-ness) - Keep in mind that the same spices can vary with their level of "heat" with different brands or different levels of freshness. So I recommend taste-testing as you go, and adding more/less spice according to tast, especially with the chili powder and crushed red pepper. Adjust the level of salt -If you would like even less salt in this recipe, feel free to reduce or omit it all together. Substitute different chili powders - If you like different chili powders, my personal favorite combo is doing 1/3 standard chili powder, 1/3 chipotle chili powder, and 1/3 ancho chili powder. It makes for a nice smoky chili mix! But using all standard chili powders works to and is...well...the standard. Add flour- Many store-bought taco seasoning mixes come with flour mixed in for thickening. If you would like your taco seasoning mix to include flour, I recommend 1 tsp. per recipe.
