    Taco Tuesday!

    Published: Feb 8, 2011 · Modified: Jan 16, 2013 by Coleen · This post may contain affiliate links.

    It's Taco Tuesday! I like my tacos simple: seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, hot taco sauce (or jarred salsa), Mexican blend of cheese, and sour cream on a soft tortilla.

    I made tacos about 2 months ago. I decided not to buy the taco kit, and instead bought the meat, tortillas, and salsa separately, since it was cheaper. Except, whoops! I didn't buy any taco seasoning! I thought we were going to have to resort to take-out, and postpone taco night by a day, when my boyfriend made the incredibly simple suggestion: mix our own taco seasoning. This is one of those all-too-frequent moments in my life where I think, "Why didn't I think of that?"

    I love to cook, so I own just about every dried herb and spice on the grocery store shelves. We used this recipe from AllRecipes.com (tweaking a bit), and it's just as good, if not better, than the packaged taco seasoning you buy at the store.
