Day 1 – Taco Seasoning: Grill Marinade

Day 1 - Taco Seasoning: Grill Marinade | Faith, Hope, Love, and Luck Survive Despite a Whiskered Accomplice

Lately I’ve been addicted to anything cooked on the grill, not to mention anything containing taco seasoning, which is a new thing for me. I’ve never been a huge fan of those little packets that you purchase in the spice aisle, due to their high spice and sodium content. However, after discovering this recipe for homemade taco seasoning I’m quickly changing my whole opinion on the subject of taco seasoning. I want to put it on, in, or, over just about everything I make. This grill marinade is the first of three taco seasoning recipes I’ll be sharing with you this week. It’s amazing on steak, but would be just as great on chicken or pork.

Suggestions:

  • Always store spices in glass containers, so that the color and smell does not leach into the container you are using.
  • Place the marinade in a large Ziploc bag with whatever meat you are marinating, squish it around until it is well coated, and then allow it to marinade for at least 8 hours.
  • Grilled steak is a great use for this marinade.

Improvements:

  • Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the marinade.
