This is now my go-to recipe for taco seasoning. It is better than the packages you can buy in the store, and without all that extra stuff they add. :P I do decrease the cayenne and pepper flakes a bit, as I have 2 little ones in the house, but other than that, it is perfect! Thank you!

This is excellent! I have been seasoning my own taco meat for a while, but this is much better than what I was making. My only suggestion is to add salt. I made some and sent it to my sister, who didn't add salt when she made tacos, and she said it was just so so. I added salt to my batch and it was awesome.

This is excellent and so much better than buying the little packets at the store! I like being able to know exactly what is going into my food. I only needed a little bit for a recipe so cut this down by 1/4 and had a little over 3 Tbsp total. Thanks so much Michael!

This was excellent. It has a nice blend of flavors. I used a pound of ground chuck and added 4 tablespoons of the seasoning. It tasted great.....it had a really nice zing to it!!!!
