Making your own Mexican seasoning is so simple. There is no need to use store-bought packets that contain flour, sugar, food acid and anti-caking agent. Use 2 tablespoons of my Mexican Spice Mix with 500g of beef or chicken mince when making tacos or 3 tablespoons for Chilli Beef or Taco Soup. Depending on the chilli powder you choose, the heat of the mix may vary a little. It's always best to use organic spices if available. Link to SPICE MIX RECIPE HERE. The recipe makes 110g (12 tablespoons). Store the mix in a sealed glass jar to have on hand to add to your Mexican dishes.
