A dash of this, a pinch of that, another sprinkle, then a shake—if you’re seasoning taco meat, chances are you’ve emptied half your spice rack before the cooking even begins. Save yourself the countertop clutter – and a little extra time – with this premade spice mix. Just increase the amounts for each ingredient until you’ve filled a bottle, and your fiesta will be ready fast on taco Tuesdays (or any night of the week)!
