Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cup Chex cereal
  • 4 cup oyster crackers
  • 4 cup cheese crackers
  • 4 cup mini pretzel twists
  • 0.67 cup vegetable oil
  • 0.75 cup taco seasoning mix

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large, double-lined paper bag, dump all ingredients (cereals, crackers, pretzels, oil, and taco seasoning). Fold the top of the bags down and shake about 20 times until everything is thoroughly mixed and coated.
  2. Let the mix sit for about one hour until the oil has been absorbed. Place the bag on a piece of wax paper or foil to catch any potential grease.
  3. Pour the Taco Snack Mix into an airtight container. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, store your homemade spicy Chex mix in an airtight container at room temperature. It will stay fresh for up to four weeks, making it perfect for meal prep or spontaneous snacking.
