Food Works Homemade Taco Seasoning

You can buy taco seasoning in little packages, but they have weird ingredients like maltodextrin (the very first ingredient), corn starch (a filler), "natural flavour", silicon dioxide and yeast extract. This seasoning can be made in large batches and stored dry in a container for quite a long time. Bulk ingredients can be bought cheaply at Bulk Barn.
