Mexican Seasoning

I like to make burritos, tacos, and fajitas and I've always just bought the little seasoning packets at the store each time I needed one but last time I bought one I couldn't believe how expensive they've gotten! I just can't handle the idea of paying so much for something I could do for probably much cheaper myself.

I found this recipe which works for burritos, tacos, or fajitas and tried it today and it was good. Thought I'd share in case anyone else wants to make their own and doesn't already have a recipe!
