Homemade Taco Seasoning

I made this homemade taco seasoning as Christmas gifts for my teammates at school.  I opted to leave it in layers and put instructions on the tag to shake well before using.  Doesn't it look pretty?  Homemade taco seasoning = practical gift.  I like practical.

 

HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING

• 1/2 cup chili powder
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 4 teaspoons paprika
• 4 tablespoons ground cumin
• 8 teaspoons table salt
• 4 teaspoons black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne

NOTE:  These amounts make a pretty hefty portion.  I think it's nice to make a bunch and have it on hand.  But, if you'd prefer to make only a small amount, see portions below:

• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon table salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
