It's nacho night! I know I've talked about our nacho nights before, but I'm writing about it again so I can share this amazing taco seasoning recipe. Just about every Friday night in my house is nacho and Gold Rush night. Everyone is happy because they can make their nachos (or tacos) their own!
Some of the toppings we love are cheese, onions, fresh cilantro, refried beans, and peppers from my garden. Black beans or pinto beans are also rotated in for the refried beans.

Homemade Pico de Gallo is a must! I usually have this instead of plain diced tomatoes.

The star of nacho night is the taco meat. I started using a homemade seasoning blend a couple years ago, and we love it. It's easy to mix together and makes enough for several batches. I've even made it salt free and have given it to people who have low sodium diets. This seasoning blend is a staple in my pantry.
