I've been wanting to make my own taco seasonings for a while, but felt too lazy to do it (curse my infernal laziness!) until I had some incentive: that jumbo canister of taco seasoning from Costco was starting to taste funky. I don't know if it was just past its prime or what, but our tacos were definitely tasting a little foul. So I looked at a few recipes online and I realized that I already had all the ingredients I needed in my pantry! Five minutes later, I had homemade taco seasonings adapted to my family's tastes. I've used our taco seasoning several times and we love it (it's about 2 tablespoons seasoning per taco recipe). Plus every time I use it, I am totally justified in feeling all domestic-goddess about myself.
