Taco Snack Mix is a spicy chex mix that'll take your snacking game to new heights! Perfect for a party, movie night or munching on throughout the day, this chex mix is inspired by taco flavors.

Ingredients

  • 4 cup chex cereal
  • 4 cup oyster crackers
  • 4 cup cheese crackers
  • 4 cup pretzels twists (mini)
  • ⅔ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup taco seasoning mix

Instructions

  1. In large paper bag, double lined, dump all ingredients. Fold top of bags down and shake about 20 times until everything is mixed and coated.
  2. Let sit for about one hour until oil has been absorbed (bottom of bag will be greasy, so be sure to put it on a piece of wax paper or foil).
  3. Pour into airtight container. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage- store in airtight container (or ziploc bag) for up to 4 weeks.
  • Peanuts or pecans would be a delicious addition to this if you like some nuttiness in your spicy chex mix.
  • Want even more spice in your Taco Chex Mix? Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the bag along with the taco seasoning. If it's a little too much heat for your taste, reduce the amount of taco seasoning to your liking.
  • Gluten Free: choose gluten free crackers and pretzels. Rice and Corn chex are naturally gluten free.
