We must have the same co-op, I love the recipes in the magazine but hate to see it come every month. (I know my power bill is about to arrive-lol). I missed this one, thanks for sharing it. Gonna give it a try!

I know some recipes for homemade taco seasoning is on this site. The packaged kind is convenient but so full of sodium.
Just type in taco seasoning mix

Can't wait to try this!! Pasta is my passion and love taco seasoning!! Will probably add the avocado as I serve the salad so that it wont turn brown and ruin the salad...plus my hubby is not a fan of avocado, so therefore will add it to the portions as served, I don't think it will make a difference, do you?

not at all. I'm not real crazy about avocado, as I was never raised with it on the table EVER, I tried it for this, was ok, but I could live without it a few more times :) I just added a little until I saw if I even liked it.
