Happy Hump Day and Happy Back to the Future Day! We can also add in Happy Day After Taco Tuesday. I absolutely love tacos and lately i've really been trying to make my own seasonings at home rather than buying them at the store. Taco seasoning always seemed so difficult to make, but I scoured the internet for recipes/combinations and decided to give it a try. To make the seasoning I combined:
2 Tbsp chili powder
1.5 Tbsp ground cumin
2 tsp garlic powder
1.5 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon *optional
2 Tbsp chili powder
1.5 Tbsp ground cumin
2 tsp garlic powder
1.5 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon *optional
I threw a couple chicken breasts in the crock pot with ~3/4 cup chicken broth and added this seasoning. When I got home from work the house smelled incredible and dinner was no different. I was quite surprised at how delicious this seasoning was and how much it tasted like store-bought seasoning without the other preservatives and additives. I will definitely be using this again and am looking forward to more experiments with spices.
