i'm going to try this today. ^_^
This is just what I was looking for. I still have some left for when I need a quick spice blend for tacos. Now I do not have to worry about reading labels of the store bought packets.
you know it's funny, I submitted this recipe many months ago. I'm really glad it's here now though b/c we moved and I lost my 'hard copy'.
