Simply Delicious Taco Seasoning🌶
Homemade Taco Seasoning that you will love and loves you back❤️
What led to making our own mixed seasonings? When we began reading labels we were surprised to find out that it wasn't uncommon to find chemically processed ingredients added that could be unhealthy. 'Natural flavors' can be a red flag to put the mix back on the shelf as this could mean up to 100 ingredients that you won't even know what they are. So we ventured out to discover how to make our own mixes that we would love and that our creations would love our minds and bodies back too. What we discovered is that making your own seasoning masterpieces was not only easy but a lot of fun to invite family and guests to create their own as well❣️
Making your own is a much healthier and delicious option that you will know exactly what is in them because you get to decide. This recipe is very basic to get you started creating your own that you can add more or less spice if you like. Feel free to experiment and omit any spices you may not prefer. It's totally up to you! That is the beauty of creating your own mix because you can customize your recipe the way that best suits you and your loved ones.
There is an ingredient that you may find surprising and that is cocoa powder! Be sure and use unsweetened cocoa. This will deepen the flavor and add richness to your mix. Experiment adding cocoa powder in with your pasta sauce too which can enhance your favorite version as well.
This taco seasoning will mix well with whatever meat or non meat alternative you choose for your tacos. A versatile seasoning that can be used with fajitas, stir frys, steamed or grilled veggies rice, potatoes, salads, scrambled eggs, omelettes and even quiches😋 Try it out on some of your favorite dishes and have fun creating your own masterpieces!
Note: if you want to spice it up some more you can add in some crushed red pepper flakes or additional cayenne pepper until you reach your desired level of spiciness🌶
Depending on the age of the spices you use, this mix should be good for up to 6 months stored in an airtight container. The older the spices the sooner the mix can lose some flavor.

About Me
My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. It’s amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bites’ throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
