I have 2 recipes for homemade taco seasoning. I call this one my Master Mix because this is the one I use the most and usually make a large batch of it. My family loves Mexican and Tex-Mex.....but they don't like it spicy. This recipe uses flour as a filler that makes it thicker, less spicy, and closer to the commercial brands. I use my other version just for me because I like spicy and it doesn't have the filler. I've also included the proportions to make 10 times the mix if anyone is interested. But mostly......it's for my own convenience. lol.
