Taco Salad!

The weather has stopped dancing between wet and dry long enough today to enjoy a summer salad~ and this one is a 'gang' favorite.

Here is my go-to:

1 tsp Sea Salt

1 tsp Black Pepper

1 tsp Ground Cumin

½ tsp Paprika

¼ tsp Onion Powder

¼ tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

pinch of Cocoa

½ tsp Cornstarch
