Quick time saving tip for dinner!

Tonight I made beef tacos for dinner, and as I reached for the spice jar that I made specifically for beef tacos I was thinking about what a time saver it is to have the spices already mixed and ready to go.  So I thought I'd share this recipe time saver tip with my followers.

We all have some recipes that require a bunch of spices, right?  Well instead of measuring out the spices for the recipe each time I make it, what I've been doing to save myself time is so simple.

I just triple the amount of spices needed, and then I put it all into a spice jar, give it a stir and then label it for whatever recipe it's for, like "Fish Taco Seasoning" or "Beef Seasoning" and then I just sprinkle it onto the meats that I'm cooking and don't have to measure it out each time.

Here is the seasoning mix that I did tonight, which I use on my beef tacos:

2 teaspoons dried minced onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried minced garlic or garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Triple it, put it in a jar, and you get to skip measuring it out the next few times you make beef tacos!  You can save old spice containers or buy some spice containers here on Amazon.

Enjoy getting dinner on the table a little bit faster :)
