    This was really good in your pineapple turkey tacos! Will use this recipe for taco seasoning for sure! Such great flavor. The store bought ones are so loaded with sodium and who knows what else.

      Yay! So happy to hear you’re loving it. And I agree – making your own at home is better, cheaper and you save on package waste too!
