I like to make a huge batch and store it in a large spice jar. This recipe makes enough for about 12 batches of taco meat:

LINDA'S TACO SEASONING - BIG BATCH
4 tablespoons chili powder
3 tablespoons paprika
4 tablespoons cumin
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic powder
3 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne
2 tablespoons salt
3 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoons MSG, optional

Makes enough for about 12 pounds of ground beef. This will fill a container about the size of one of those cans of parmesan cheese with the green label about 3/4 full. I bought my container at The Container Store but an old parmesan cheese jar would be ideal.

NOTE: A package of Taco Bell taco seasoning has 18 carbs and Old el Paso brand has 30 carbs per package!
