When I saw that our taco spice jar was empty, I saw it as an opportunity to make some fresh batches of seasonings.

In fact, whenever I’m making one homemade seasoning mix, I like to take advantage of having all the spices out and create a few more blends at once. It saves time and ensures that I have a variety of flavors ready for future meals.
