Recipe Notes:
- No Onion → Typically homemade taco seasoning will add dried onion, or onion salt. I always add onion to the taco filling so I omit it in the seasoning.
- 1 Tablespoon → How much I use for a ½ pound of taco filling. For a stronger flavour add two.
- Savings? → Seasoning Packet: $2.29. Homemade: $0.39. Savings: $1.90
- Would I Cook It Again? → Yep! I love how you can control the amount of salt and adjust the spices to tailor the taste.
