Christmas in July – Homemade Taco Seasoning

For my second gift idea this week, I went with a simple gift. Remember those crockpot chicken tacos I made last summer? With the homemade taco seasoning? Hubby and I love that taco seasoning. We use it anywhere you would normally use a packet of store-bought taco seasoning. We love it so much we thought it would be great to share with our family and friends.

So we mixed up a VERY large batch of the seasoning. I ordered some cute little jars and again put labels on them including instructions of how to make the taco seasoning when people ran out. I saved the label files if anyone is interested in them. Just shoot me an email.

I just picked up some country style ribs, and I’m planning on making my own bbq sauce for them. This might be a contender!

Is there a substitute you can suggest for molasses? I have the rest of the ingredients at home!

  I don’t know that there’s an exact substitute for molasses… I would mix some honey with some dark brown sugar if you have those on hand.

Can this be canned for long term storage? If so, do you have the directions?
