DIY Taco Seasoning

 So here’s a confession: I am a nutrition fact label addict. Whenever I go to the grocery store I can help but check how many preservatives and unnecessary additives are added to the food. I always try to buy the least processed foods; which is easier said than done a majority of the time. You would be really surprised to find all the preservatives added to your simple seasoning packets. For instance, with taco seasoning I was amazed to see all the artificial coloring and preservatives that are added. You most likely have all the spices at home to make a homemade taco seasoning and don’t even realize it. 

There is a huge difference in taste and quality with a homemade taco seasoning;
not to mention there won’t be any artificial coloring or preservatives. It only takes a few minutes to make and you are also able to customize your seasoning and
make it as spicy as you would like. So next time, try making your own homemade taco seasoning, it’s easy, inexpensive and perfect for feeding your taco obsession.
