Homemade Taco Seasoning

Ok... I've been on a bit of a blogging hiatus.  Things are a bit of a gongshow around our house right now.  We are in the midst of doing renovations, de-cluttering, and general spring clean up.  Hubby also left on Monday for work, and I've been working more than normal the past few weeks.  Excuses aside, I've missed writing my recipes!  

I realized that I've mentioned homemade taco seasoning in a couple of my recipes, but I have yet to provide the recipe that I use.  This is full of warm spices, and gives a well-rounded flavour, minus all the MSG, sugar, and preservative crap.  

Taco Seasoning

1/2 cup chili powder
1/4 cup cumin
1 1/2 tablespoons sea salt
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 1/2 tablespoons black pepper
1 tablespoon oregano 
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

1.  Mix all the spices together and transfer to a mason jar. 
2.  You're done... have a glass of wine cause you're awesome!

To use:
To make normal taco meat I, generally, use 3-4 tablespoons.  We like a lot of spice, so start out with 1-2 tablespoons and work up from there!  Enjoy!
