In a Pinch Taco Seasoning

CookETC's Note:

Put this together (in a pinch) when I was making tacos and realized I was out of taco seasoning packets. Liked it so well, I haven't bought a seasoning packet since. I keep it on hand in my spice rack and use it for more than just tacos.

Another great home-made recipe that fits the bill for making things at home rather than buying a packet (over-priced!).....Good job! I also added basil to mine, and skipped the cilantro and all that cayenne because The Peanut Gallery doesn't approve of it and we're a bunch of lily-livered Germans and Norwegians who don't like hot stuff! :-) *PAC Autumn 09*
