    Taco Spiced Kale Chips {Beard and Bonnet} #glutenfree #vegan

    It has been a while since I have posted something savory here on B&B. Mainly because everyone around here is running in separate directions and I have been opting to load them up on healthy snacks, the occasional indulgent dessert, and have been making my go-to dinners in the evenings. I have a list of savory recipe ideas that seems to be a mile long now and I have decided to get back into the groove and share a few.

    One of my new favorite ingredients to play with is Trader Joe's Gluten-Free Taco Seasoning Mix. This spice blend contains sea salt, cumin, cayenne pepper, cane sugar, paprika, onion, garlic, black pepper, red bell pepper, oregano, chili pepper, and smoked paprika. We don't make meat tacos around here, but that is not all that this mix is good for! I have thrown a few teaspoonfuls in with peppers and onions for fajita's, sprinkled it on popcorn, and now I have kicked up my kale chips a few notches. These chips are great on their own, but you really must try them along with my smokey black bean tacos. *All the credit goes to Todd on the taco filling idea, he really knocked it out of the park with that one. Yum!

      Hi Meg! I love kale chips but have never tried taco spices with them. It's a must now that I've seen yours. I love my taco spice mix (thank you for sharing!!) but we now have a Trader Joe's just down the street and I need to go get some frozen artichokes so....I'll have to try the spice mix too. Because you said you love it.

      Hugs!!

        Amy, I have to admit that I love your homemade version more than the Trader Joe's but when I don't have a batch mixed up I enjoy how easy it is to grab a pack of the Trader Joe's brand.
