  This is the e only taco seasoning I use now! I added a little extra kick! We love it!

  Excellent taco seasoning. I omitted salt and black pepper as diners can add to their own taste at the table, and this seasoning mix is a winner. It's delicious on ground chicken for nachos.

  Loved it! We had nacho night tonight and the seasoning was great. I left out the oregano because I didn't have any and also left out the salt because the chips are salted. Super easy to whip up using spices I always have on hand.
