Homemade seasoning packets, including homemade taco seasoning, are always better for you and your family. You know exactly what is in it and the food companies can not hide anything else in the ingredients that you are not wanting. So I want to help you stock your pantry with a few everyday seasoning packets to use in your family meals. Most envelope packets are about 4 ozs so we are doing our best to make that amount here but honestly, it works best for us to make a large amount and store it in a mason jar to have ready for any night’s meal. Let’s start off with homemade taco seasoning at the top of the list.
