Well you all know about the house project. We are as busy as ever and I get to provide lunch on Saturday for all of our “helpers”. I’m starting to run out of ideas… Plus I’m totally sick of chips as a side for every meal. I needed a new twist to through in there.
When I saw this idea for Taco Chex Mix over at Shugary Sweets I knew it was calling my name. A different snack for the afternoons out the house plus a twist on plain old Chex Mix not that I don’t love that too!
I adapted it a little and we loved it! If you are looking for a quick and easy snack mix with a bit of a zest to it this is it!
Plus make your own Taco Seasoning and it’s even cheaper!

Love this – I could eat it ALL. Then I would drink three gallons of water, but it would be so worth it…

I never get tired of Chex mix! The taco flavoring sounds perfect!

Hi,
Do you think I could use Hidden Valley Ranch Fiesta dip mix instead of taco seasoning?
Thank you,
Dolores
I had a recipe called Julie’s Party mix it had all
sorts of good things in it–chex, pretzels, cheese
crackers, small rye etc. it was mixed with popcorn
oil and put in the oven. I lost the recipe and I’m
wondering if you have any idea what I’m talking about?
