HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING

Taste and Create was started as a food event by Nicole from For the Love of Food.  The whole purpose of Taste and Create was, and has been, and continues to be to create a community of bloggers who test each others’ recipes and share links. The participants of the event are paired together and try a new recipe from one another's blog.

This month I was paired with Jennifer from FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. I love being paired with someone I've never been paired with before I inevitably learn sooooooo much, and find great new recipes.  I chose her TACO SEASONING recipe. I chose it because I too am always looking for the perfect homemade seasonings. 

She's right it works great for chicken, beef, pork–whatever you are trying to spice up for Mexican night!   

I'm ditching my old go to recipe and using this from now on!
