This taco seasoning is just perfect! I make three or four batches at a time and put them in ziploc bags for convenience. Once you try this you'll never buy a packet of taco seasoning at the grocery store again! MSG gives me a headache, so years ago I went on a quest for a great taco seasoning recipe. This is what I found (I just don't remember where). This will season a pound of ground whatever (or a bag of Morningstar Farms Veggie Crumbles- nobody will ever know it's meat-free). Hope you like it!

I got this recipe from a magazine (don't know which kind) while waiting for a haircut. It's just like the name suggests. I think this is more flavorful than storebought seasoning. It also has less salt. Use it on chicken, ground beef, or taco meat. The original recipe needed some spice (I like spicy food), so I added chipotle and cayenne pepper. Yum!
