Sometimes I find that opening up a box or bag of something is the easiest way to get dinner on the table. But sometimes I find that making your own mixes ahead of time can be helpful, and offer you the peace of mind of knowing what exactly is going into the food that you're making. To that end, I searched for a recipe to mix up my own taco and burrito seasoning. The one that I found we liked best is this one, with some modifications, of course.

This is my adjusted version:
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Blend all ingredients together, and store in an airtight container. I usually use three or four teaspoons with a pound of ground beef and a can of beans for burritos, but the beauty of mixing your own seasoning is that you can adjust the amount of seasoning to your own taste! It also makes a fun gift if you can find a cute jar for it. smile emoticon
