- 4 cup Chex cereal
- 4 cup oyster crackers
- 4 cup cheese crackers
- 4 cup pretzels twists mini

Instructions
- 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.

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.
