    Hi littlelady. Have you heard of pintrest www.pintrest.com

    I just did a search and there are many recipes on there. You can even narrow down your search by spice preference.

    If you have any trouble, in box me and I can help you.

    Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix
    Original recipe makes 2 tablespoons

    Ingredients

    2 teaspoons hot chili powder

    1 1/2 teaspoons paprika

    1 teaspoon onion powder

    1/2 teaspoon sea salt

    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

    1/2 teaspoon oregano

    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

    1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste (optional)

    1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste (optional)

    Directions
    1.Mix chili powder, paprika, onion powder, sea salt, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl.

    Cook's Note: Add to browning meat when meat is partially browned. After browned completely, add 1/2 to 1 cup water and cook down to blend flavors.

    Edited to add:

    Also as Cindy shared there's many on Pintrest and also if you Google you'll find recipes where you can make a batch of it, store it in a jar and use it as you need it. That saves loads of time when you make more than one serving at a time.

    Alton Brown's Taco Potion #19 is the best!
    http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/taco-potion-19-recipe.html


    Ingredients
    2 tablespoons chili powder
    1 tablespoon ground cumin
    2 teaspoons cornstarch
    2 teaspoons kosher salt
    1 1/2 teaspoons hot smoked paprika
    1 teaspoon ground coriander
    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper


    Directions

    Put all of the ingredients in a small jar and shake to combine. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

    -When I made it, I left out the coriander since I didn't have it on hand. It was still really good.
