Recipe: Make Your Own Taco & Fajita Seasoning

Checking out my premade packaged of taco seasoning, I found the manufacturers use extra ingredients to prevent the spices from clumping together. I am trying to keep my families diet as whole as possible,  so I am going to make my own taco & fajita seasoning. It's pretty simple and easy to store! Adjust ingredients to make the seasoning as spicy or as mild as you like. The salt is optional and can be omitted.
