When I realized that taco-seasoning packets were simply a mix of things I probably already had in my kitchen, it was a revelation. And that discovery ultimately resulted in the best homemade taco seasoning I’ve ever had. Cocoa might seem like an odd addition, but it gives the blend a deep, rich flavor.
