Grab two handfuls of this CRUNCHY TACO MIX cuz it won't last long!

When my sister and I were little, we came from school and were greeted by some sort of homemade after school snack. It was always a highlight of my day and something I remember fondly from my childhood. I told myself that I would always do this for my kids too, but sadly life gets in the way and I forget a lot of the time.

I feel bad that I can’t make something amazing for the kids every day after school, but I do try to have something special for them once a week. Having something a little special reminds them that I think about them during the day and it brings us together at the table after school to discuss the day.

I love that this mix is gluten free (and dairy free) so I can enjoy it, but feel free to use regular butter or other crunchy chips. The kids thought the addition of cheese fish or cheetos would be good. This would be so yummy made with my homemade taco seasoning mix in place of the other seasonings. Delish!

    Thank you for sharing your passion for family and friends. I’ve tried a few recipes although I don’t have any food restrictions. I was wondering if the Crunchy Taco Mix is gluten-free as well as dairy free? I am trying to find some recipes for friends that can’t have gluten or dairy.
    Thank you so much for your kindness.

      So glad you are enjoying the recipes! Yes, it is gluten free and if you use a non-dairy butter like Earth Balance or dairy free Smart Balance variety, then yes it’s dairy free too! w-
