In the movie Shrek, Donkey tells Shrek that everyone loves parfaits. That’s how I feel about tacos. I cannot say for sure that I’ve ever met someone who doesn’t like tacos. Tacos might be Mexico’s most endeared food, not that every other food from them isn’t loved, but I think the taco is probably the most famous.
I set out to find a taco seasoning that wasn’t extremely spicy and one that my kids would enjoy. I thought that by making my own, I would know what goes in it and be able to adjust it. The bonus is that, because I already have the ingredients, it costs me nothing to get more life out of these spices. Plus, this is an easy recipe that requires only a handful of ingredients that most of us already have.
Here is my taco seasoning recipe; I hope you enjoy it.
