LAND DAYS: TACO SEASONING

I love me some mexican food! 

One thing i find myself making the most often are tacos. For the tacos i made tonight, i decided to make my own seasoning since the pre-packaged taco mix has extremely high sodium contents and, in some cases, also contains MSG (monosodium glutamate). It was delicious and i honestly think it tasted a lot better and is obviously more authentic than the packaged stuff!

Here are the ingredients for the 'Hot and Spicy' Old El Paso pre-packaged seasoning:

I used a recipe that i found off the internet from [allrecipes.com] and the only things i changed were replacing table salt with sea salt and red pepper flakes (i didn't have any) with Mrs. Dash.
