Kalyn's Taco Seasoning Mix

(Makes about 1 cup of dried Taco Seasoning Mix; recipe inspired by Kalyn's flavor preferences and recipes from other blogs, especially Food Renegade, Simply Sugar and Gluten Free, and Green Lite Bites.)

Ingredients:
1/4 cup Ancho Chile Powder
2 T chile powder
3 T ground cumin
1 T dried cilantro
1 T sweet paprika (not hot paprika, unless you like it hot)
1 T fine grind sea salt (or slightly less regular salt)
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. fine grind black pepper
1 tsp. ground Chipotle Chile Powder (optional, but good if you want more heat)

Instructions:
You can simply combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir them together. I wanted a mixture that was more finely ground, so I put the ingredients into the bowl attachment of my immersion blender (or a small food processor would work) and buzzed them together for about a minute.

Store Taco Seasoning Mix in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Start with 2 T per pound of ground beef for regular ground beef tacos, then taste to see if you want it more spicy.
