BVC Fresh Taco Seasoning

BVC Fresh Taco Seasoning

 Much better than the store-bought variety this is easy to make in a good quantity to last you for many dishes.  Goes great on seafood and other meats alike.  One ingredient that is a little tricky to find is the ground chili ancho.  Spicely makes a great one - you can even find this on Amazon if not in your grocery store - or you can grind up your own dried chili ancho peppers.  Adds a bit of smokey sweetness to the mixture.

1 Tbsp chili powder

1 Tbsp ground chili ancho (optional)

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp dried oregano (rub is between your hands to get a finer mix)

1/2 tsp paprika

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)

Mix together all ingredients and store in an airtight container.
