I just thought I'd add the mix I use in place of a packet of taco seasoning.  Years back I got tired of finding out I needed the mix and didn't have a packet, then I realized how simple it must be to make it on your own.  A few google clicks later, and voilà!  A good list to keep on hand :)

2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
