One of my favorite things to do is give homemade gifts. I’ve found that the various seasonings I have made over the years like this one and this one, have always been a BIG hit! Pack them up in cute jars and give them along with a nice cut of meat or wrapped in a fresh new kitchen towel (like one from the 5 Dog Farm shop!) and watch your friends face. They won’t believe you took the time to make them something (seconds really) and will love the fresh NON FILLER flavor this seasoning has. Win win!
As you can tell, there are many ways you can use your new seasoning. Try it on fish, turkey or chicken. Definitely use it on red meat – yummers! Of course if you’ve followed me for anytime at all you know I’m willing to put almost anything on my popcorn and this taco seasoning is the best on popcorn!
Here’s a video that I made so you can follow along and see how truly simple this is to put together!
I am finding the Simply Organic brand is harder and harder to find. I have used Frontier brand for years (even before Simply Organic) and find that I am going back to Frontier as Simply Organic slowly disappears from the shelves. The great thing is Frontier sells in bulk and that’s how I buy all my spices. When you compare the price you get much more bang for the buck when buying Frontier in bulk.
Here’s a printable recipe so you can keep making this over the years. Trust me – you will!
