Tex-Mex Spice Mix
Have I mentioned that I am really forgetful? I always forget things at the grocery store, like taco seasoning, so I came up with my own because I can’t live without Taco Tuesdays. Okay, so we don’t have tacos every Tuesday, but we have them a lot. I love tacos, kind of like Bubba going on in Forrest Gump about shrimp, that’s how I feel about tacos. Pork tacos, ground beef tacos, grilled chicken tacos, steak tacos, are you starting to get a picture? Any way this spice mix is really simple and most likely all of the ingredients are in your pantry or easily accessible from your regular grocery store. So fret no more, if you’re like me, Taco Tuesdays are on again!

A lot of the packaged stuff contains so much salt! This mix sounds really flavorful although it might not last long–my hubby could probably eat tacos every day!
