The Best Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe

DIY Taco seasoning is so easy to make, tastes better than the store bought packets and is healthier to boot! I make a big batch every time we need it and keep it in a canister on the counter. I will post two versions of the recipe if you want to make a small batch (for 1-2 lb of ground beef) or a big batch (8x that). The packets at the store are 2 tablespoons, we use between 1 & 2 tablespoons of this mixture for a pound of meat. Since I make my vegetarian crumbles just for me, i use maybe 2 tsp for my serving.
