Taco Seasoned Snack Mix is a great way to make your own homemade snack mix plus the Taco Seasoning included also works great for actual tacos.

Everyone loves snack mix but it can be expensive and full of not-so-great ingredients.  Taco Seasoned Snack Mix is a great way to make your own homemade snack mix plus the Taco Seasoning included also works great for actual tacos.  It is perfect for lunches,  as an appetizer etc…

Taco Seasoned Snack Mix

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. **

**If you prefer to keep the mess to a minimum use a large paper grocery bag. Pour the snack mix in and then pour the taco seasoning mixture over the top. Close the bag and shake it well, turning it over a few times to evenly coat the snack mix.

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

#5. Allow to cool prior to serving. Store in a airtight container 1-2 weeks.

    I love snack mixes, but I’ve never made my own. I love the idea of adding some chips or crackers with taco seasoning.
