We’ve waited our whole lives for Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday to align! JK, but it would be a pretty epic celebration if we weren’t in the middle of a pandemic.
I love to make homemade tacos, but I’m often without the store-bought taco seasoning. I’ve perfected my homemade seasoning out of necessity and thought it was just about the time that I shared it with you! This recipe is super easy, and requires a lot of spices! But, it’s worth making I promise.
