But in a pinch, of course, you could use this homemade spice mix in place of a taco seasoning packet. Again, about 2 tablespoons of this seasoning recipe replace 1 packet.

In fact, depending on what you include in your chili recipe, the seasoning may be more or less noticeable, resulting in a need to adjust it to your taste. For example, some chili recipes that have a lot of tomatoes may need a little more spice mix if you like to taste more heat.
You can really save a lot of money by making your own seasoning mixes. Often you can buy half a pound worth of individual spices for the same price as buying a spice mix or individual packets. It's especially easy if you have a well-stocked spice cabinet. On top of that, you get to avoid any additives and fillers!

We all know spice blends can last a while, but they do go stale eventually.
