Notes

***What I love to do when making this recipe is to actually multiply the recipe by 6 to fill smaller mason jar. Will keep for 6-12 months in a jar with a lid up in the cabinet. 
**Simply change serving size to change the measurements if you want to make a whole jar of taco seasoning. 
*use for beef, chicken or shrimp tacos, taco soup, sprinkle on taco salads, use to make ranch taco salad dressing, or on Mexican street corn.
