Taste of Our Home Tuesday: Homemade Ranch and Taco Seasoning Mix

I found these 2 recipes on Pinterest a few weeks back.  The gal also had a recipe for onion soup, but I don't use onion soup very often so I skipped that one.  We've used the taco seasoning and really enjoyed it.  It's not as salty as the store bought mixes which I liked.  Justin loves using the ranch mix on his baked potatoes with the sour cream.  I'm anxious to use up our bottled Ranch so I can mix up the homemade recipe.  Enjoy! 

 

Taco Seasoning:

1/2  cup chili powder

1/4 cup onion powder

1/8 cup ground cumin

1 Tablespoon garlic powder

1 Tablespoon paprika

1 Tablespoon sea salt

Put ingredients into a jar and shake.  

  Ranch:

5 tablespoons dried minced onions

7 teaspoons parsley flakes

4 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Mix together and store in an air tight container.

For dressing: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup buttermilk or sour cream.

For dip:  Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 2 cups sour cream.

Mix up a few hours before serving, so the flavors all blend.
