SPICY BEEF TACO SEASONING
I love a good taco seasoning; however, I don't like all the extra chemicals you get when you buy the premixes at the grocers. I was making a new batch of this seasoning this morning, and I thought I would post it. This recipe contains all the usual suspects for a good spicy taco seasoning.

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. Gather your ingredients.
- 3. Add them to a glass jar, shake up, and tightly cover.
- 4. Chef's Note: Some people will add cornstarch or arrowroot to their seasoning mix. The idea is to have a bit of a thickener in the dry spice when you use it. In my opinion, if I want a taco spice that includes a thickener... I'll add it when I'm cooking... NOT to the dry spice mix.
- 5. Chef's Tip: Store in a cool dry place, out of the sunlight. It should be good for six months. Enjoy.
- 6. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

SPICY TACO SEASONING
I reverse engineered store-bought taco seasoning because I use a lot of it and wanted a more natural mix. I like the way it tastes and the texture, although I will note the color and texture of store-bought mix is different, probably due to the fact that they add yellow corn flour to theirs, so you could add that in if you like. This recipe also has a "spiciness" knob. I like things really spicy, so you may want to tone it down. Just use less (or more!) Cayenne and Chipotle powder for a different amount of heat. This version is also considerably less salty than store-bought, so if you want yours saltier (or less saltier), adjust the amount of salt.
