Taco Seasoning General Purpose Tex Mex Uses Recipes

This spice mix goes together quickly and makes a great little gift to include with holiday greetings for neighbors and coworkers. They can mix it into chili and scrambled eggs, use it to season tacos and burritos, or add zip to a can of refried beans. -Tammy Rose, Danville, Arkansas

This is a homemade seasoning I developed to make and store in large batches, because I cater so much Tex-Mex food. I use it anywhere chili/chile powder is called for, and it tastes a whole lot better than taco and fajita seasonings found in grocery stores. If you cannot find guajillo or ancho chile powder, you will have to make your own, or mail-order them. How to grind your own is in the directions near the end.* You can also use this seasoning as a grilling or smoking rub. For fajitas, marinate the meat in pineapple juice, then rub this seasoning on the meat, along with some oil, and grill.
