You're done buying overpriced packaged Taco Season You're done buying overpriced packaged Taco Seasoning with sugar (what?!) and preservatives when you realize you can make your own in 5 minutes because you already have all the ingredients. #agoudalife

Then you make a double batch so you can sprinkle it like fairy dust on beef, chicken, shrimp and fish tacos, plus nachos and a whole lot more.

Air fryer chicken, potatoes and vegetables

Preheat air fryer to 375°. Toss potatoes and carrots in olive oil, salt and pepper then add to the air fryer basket.

Brush bone in chicken thighs (or breasts cut 1/2) with olive oil and your favorite spices. I used @meatchurch Honey Hog BBQ. Place chicken skin side down on top of the veggies. Air fry 10 minutes. Flip chicken to the other side. Cook six minutes more or to an internal temp of 165. Last minute of cooking brush on barbecue sauce

Use your creativity -- switch up the spices with whatever you like best!
