A quick and inexpensive meal we like to fix is Taco Salad - complete with fresh Romaine lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese (or a Mexican cheese blend) black beans, tortilla chips and homemade taco seasoning. The taco seasoning is quick to make and makes a fair amount :)

Taco Seasoning (from allrecipes.com)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Mix all ingredients together. Use and store leftover seasoning in an airtight container. Enjoy! :)
