Notes

This recipe is equal to 1 package of taco seasoning mix.

Essentially this makes 3 tablespoons.

Mexican food is non existent here. But occasionally I will see a packet of fajita seasoning in the store. But usually we have a brand here called Santa Maria. You can find many things under this brand, including a packet of fajita spice and salsa.

I like their brand of salsa, in comparison to the other “salsa messicana” that I have seen and tried around here. But, the packet of spice… I just don’t know there is something funky in it I don’t like, and it might be curry.

It just really doesn’t float my boat. So I got to thinking I needed an all around Mexican seasoning. And this recipe is just that.
