Why buy prepacked taco seasoning when it is easy to make from scratch. If you purchase the spices at a bulk store it is also very very inexpensive to make. As a bonus you can control the salt. Commercial mixes have way too much salt for my tastes.

Imagine the sheer joy of being able to pronounce all the ingredients in your taco seasoning. No more tongue-twisting chemical compounds or mysterious additives. Just good, old-fashioned spices you can find in your pantry or local market.

Now, let’s talk about the flavor explosion that awaits you. When you make your own taco seasoning, you can customize it to your heart’s content.

Like it spicy? Add more chili powder or a pinch of cayenne.

Would you prefer a smoky flavor? Smoked paprika is your friend. The possibilities are endless, and you’ll be the master of your taco destiny.

But wait, there’s more! Making your own taco seasoning is a cost-effective and eco-friendly choice.

No more single-use packets that end up in the trash. Instead, you’ll have a reusable jar of homemade goodness that can be replenished as needed.

You’ll save money in the long run, as bulk spices are often less expensive than their pre-packaged counterparts.

And let’s not forget the health benefits. By making your own taco seasoning, you can control the amount of sodium and other additives that go into your mix. Say goodbye to excess salt and hello to a healthier, more delicious taco experience.
