What is Taco Seasoning Recipe?
I always want a balance between quality and low cost when it comes to cooking. Taco Seasoning is a spicy dressing that’s used to add smoky flavor to all of your favorite dishes, such as Tacos and soups.
It’s always a good idea to make your homemade taco seasoning or you can buy it from the store, my homemade recipe will require ingredients you already have on hand in the kitchen.
Store-Bought vs. Homemade
Why make your own when you could buy a packet from the store? You are thinking! I am going to tell you some reasons why my homemade recipe is better than store-bought:
Seasoning packets are surely easy, but it’s not healthier and you are paying more for it. After examining the ingredients of store-bought, I noticed that the main ingredient used by brads was CORN MEAL?!
Control ingredients amount, because you are making it yourself. You will know how much sodium intake you need and you can adjust the taste and spice.
So, it’s really helpful if you have a health problem or don’t like specific ingredients while making it at home.
When you make it home, it is cheaper in the long run. As I mentioned before brands are using cheap fillers, why pay for that when we can skip these fillers and make our taco seasoning?
