Make Your Own Mexican Seasoning Mix for Tacos and Fajitas
This easy to make seasoning mix tastes better and costs less than commercially-prepared seasoning mixes. Use it with water or any liquid to make a sauce or a marinade. It’s flavorful but not hot or too spicy. You can, of course, adjust any of the spices to suit your taste.
