Homemade Taco Seasoning

2 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp mexican oregano (double if using regular oregano)
1 tsp smoked paprika (regular paprika works as well)
1 Tbsp cumin
2 tsp salt (or to taste)
2 tsp pepper (I like fresh ground)
chipotle chili pepper powder, to taste (1 tsp for a little spice, increase for more spice), optional

Mix ingrediants together and store in as you would your other spices. If you want to use this as you would a prepackaged taco seasoning, add 1 tsp flour or starch. Use 2 Tbsp (or more for added zip!) of blend per pound of browned meat and 3/4 a cup of water, let simmer until nice and saucey.
