Street Taco’s are my new favorite food.  There is a little Taco truck in Logan that has the best Taco’s.  It is amazing how crowded that little part of town gets around lunch time.  The flavors are intense and simple.  The Family loves it when I make Street Taco’s and if Dave is at work I have to make sure the kids save some for him or he gets cranky.

I make these all the time and one way to make them even quicker is to make a jar of street taco seasoning and just use 1 or 2 tablespoons of the mix, depending on how hot you like your tacos.

Large batch of Street Taco Seasoning:

5 Tablespoons Cumin

5 Tablespoons Paprika

5 Tablespoons Chipotle

1 Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper

1 Tablespoon Black Pepper

1 1/2 Tablespoons salt

 

Mix all ingredients together and store in airtight jar.

Here is a cute label to add to your spice jar.  I put mine in a mason jar. Click on photo to go to printable pdf file.

**With the leftover chicken parts I like to make my own chicken stock.  See the blog post we wrote for homemade broth.  Andrew will heat some up when he is not feeling well and I use it in soups and chilis.
