Taco Seasoned Snack Mix

Ingredients:

2 C. pretzels, any shape

2 C. oyster crackers

2 C. chex mix (I used wheat, it’s what I had on hand)

2 C. Annie’s cheddar bunnies or Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers

1/8 – ¼ C. of taco seasoning (start with 1/8 of a cup – you don’t want to over do it and make it too salty)

4 tbs. melted butter

 

Taco Seasoning Ingredients:

½ C. chili powder

¼ C. onion powder

1/8 C. cumin

1 tbs garlic powder

1 tbs. Paprika

1 tbs. Salt

 

Directions to make Taco Seasoning:

Combine the ingredients, mixing well and store in an airtight container ( I use a mason jar).  Add about 1/-1/4 C. of seasoning and ¾ C. water to 1 pound of ground beef for tacos. 😉

Taco Snack Mix Directions:

#1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.

#2. Combine the melted butter with the taco seasoning and mix well.

#3. Combine the dry snack with and pour the butter/taco seasoning mixture over the snack mix and mix well to evenly coat all the pieces. **

#4. Pour the mixture out between 2 cookies sheets and bake for 30 minutes.
