Homemade Taco Seasoning

Homemade taco seasoning combines classic seasonings like cumin and red pepper into a wonderfully expansive taste sensation. Sort of smoky, a bit of heat, some earthy paprika. This isn’t just a party in your mouth, it’s a full-blown FIESTA!  Tacos are not really tacos until you sprinkle the seasoning in.
