I always perused taco seasoning packets in stores to make sure there was no MSG and other additives. A few days ago I decided to make it, because it is so super easy, I can save my money, avoid harmful additives and I can adjust the seasoning to my taste or my family’s liking.

Spicy food lovers can add more red chili powder, or if you are suffering from a heart disease, simply remove the salt from the ingredient list. This taco seasoning is easily customizable.
