These everyday spices will take your homemade Mexican cuisine to the next level. This stuff is the star of the show in homemade tacos at our house.

Skip spending a dollar or two for a tiny packet of weak spices pumped with preservatives at the grocery store and blend your own!

Made with seasonings you probably already have in your spice cabinet, you’ll never go back to the store bought stuff.

We prefer chicken tacos, but this seasoning compliments ground beef, shredded steak, shrimp, you name it! It isn’t just for tacos though- it goes great on all the meats you could use in fajitas and burritos as well!

Use this seasoning with your favorite Mexican dish and my FAVORITE topping, Copycat Chipotle Corn Salsa, and you’ve got a dinner sure to satisfy!

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31
