Notes

Reduce clumping: Homemade seasonings can tend to clump together since they do not contain anti-caking agents. An easy fix for this is to add a small amount of white rice to the bottom of the storage container. The rice absorbs excess moisture and prevents the homemade seasoning from clumping. Just be careful as you scoop seasoning from the jar, so you don't accidently take a few grains of rice as well. When you get to the bottom of the jar, use a small mesh strainer remove the rice grains.
Doubling and Tripling: If you would like to make a bulk amount of homemade taco seasoning, you can easily double, triple or quadruple the batch. Just be sure it is not more than you will use in 2-3 months.
