TACO SEASONING (WITHOUT THE CHILI POWDER)
Here is a recipe that uses only fundamental ingredients. Every other recipe I have found for taco seasoning has chili powder in it, which is a mix itself that has many of the same ingredients as taco seasoning, but in different proportions. This recipe takes chili powder out, but puts its ingredients and proportions back in. Now you have full knowledge and control of all of the ingredients. Adjust the red pepper to your heat preference. I would rate the heat level for this at around medium-hot, so adjust the red pepper as you see fit. I hope to see other variations spring out of this one.

Tips:

- Toast Your Spices: Toasting your spices before using them will enhance their flavor and aroma. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly.
- Use Fresh Herbs: If you have access to fresh herbs, use them in your taco seasoning mix for the best flavor. Dried herbs can also be used, but they won't be as flavorful.
