Taco seasoning in a pinch!

Taco seasoning is one of the packets I always try to have on hand.  I guess just to try is not enough so I found myself needing and easy dinner, came to the conclusion of tacos and lo and behold, no seasoning.  After skimming a few recipes I tried this one out and the results were great!

• 6 teaspoons chili powder
• 5 teaspoons paprika
• 4 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
• 2 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Because I, for whatever reason, do not have onion or garlic powder on hand I just added one clove of fresh garlic and I also thought 'what's the point' on the cornstarch so I nixed that. In the end I used -
 

• 6 teaspoons chili powder
• 5 teaspoons paprika
• 4 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

and you know what?  It was perfect!  even the otherwise selective husband liked it!
