The Story
“A favorite growing up and still a favorite now. The homemade taco seasoning is my base five spices plus chili powder — does a great job. You can do traditional tacos in hard or soft shells, or do what I used to do growing up and make taco salads — pile everything on a plate, break a shell on top, and go to town. Completely customizable with whatever toppings you like.”
