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.

    How big a bottle of Guinness, please? (I’m not a beer person and I never stock beer so I’d really love to know, please!)

    Can’t wait to try this recipe. Thank you, and warm regards,
    jill

      Sorry, I’ll update the recipe. A bottle of Guinness has 11.2oz in it.

    Now if only I knew where to procure mustard seeds from… I love mustard and would love to make some at home, too!

      I buy mine at Penzey’s. We have one really close to our house in Cincinnati now, but they also have a website you can order from. Or you could check out Amazon.

    I bookmarked this. I’ve been wondering how to make mustard from scratch. Thanks!

    • beantownbaker — July 16th, 2013 @ 8:36 am

      It’s definitely worth making at home!

    My boyfriend loves Guinness mustard. We used to be able to buy it from a farm shop in the UK, but I think they’ve stopped making it. So glad I found this recipe, I made it last night. Can’t wait to see how it turns out. Thanks so much for posting!
