Special Notes

This homemade mild taco seasoning is perfect for families who prefer less heat. The blend of spices creates authentic Mexican flavor without being too spicy. It's much healthier than store-bought versions since it contains no preservatives or fillers. The seasoning can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. For a spicier version, increase the cayenne pepper or add a pinch of red pepper flakes. This recipe makes enough for several batches of tacos.
