Taco Seasoning - Recipe

I have become aware that some of the seasonings that are called for in recipes are not gluten free. One that I needed recently was Taco Seasoning. I found a recipe on allrecipes.com and thought it important to share. If you make this and use 3 Tablespoons for each pound of meat, I think you will be glad to have this all made up ahead of time!

Taco Seasoning

Ingredients:
1 Tablespoon Chili  Powder
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder (if you only have flakes, pulse them into a powder in the blender or like appliance)
1/4 teaspoon crushed Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
1/4 teaspoon dried Oregano
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1 1/2 teaspoon ground Cumin (if you only have whole, pulse to a powder)
1 teaspoon Sea Salt

Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container.

FRENCH ONION DIP - RECIPE

FRENCH ONION DIP - RECIPE

Mixes and Dips are notoriously items that I forget to check for gluten. My youngest son asked for French Onion Dip for some strange reason. It was late and I was too tired to go to the store. I decided to look for a recipe and see if I had the ingredients. There was an Alton Brown recipe for Onion Dip from Scratch.

The recipe called for cooking onions in olive oil for 20 minus. I didn't want to take that much time. I decided to use dehydrated onion flakes instead. It worked out superbly!

Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons dehydrated onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups sour cream
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (you can add more to your taste)

Mix it all together and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Let me know what you think!
