Tex Mex Snack Mix

"When game day rolls around, there’s nothing better than having a big bowl of snack mix on the table. This Tex Mex Snack Mix brings bold Tex-Mex flavors to the party with crunchy cereal, salty peanuts, pretzels, and corn chips all tossed in a buttery taco seasoning blend. It’s the kind of snack that disappears fast—so you might want to make a double batch! Whether you’re hosting a football watch party, looking for a road trip snack, or just want something savory to munch on during movie night, this recipe is quick, easy, and always a crowd-pleaser. I’ve always loved making snack mixes like my Cheerios Snack Mix and Fall Snack Mix, but for a recent get-together I wanted something a little bolder than traditional Chex mix—so this Tex-Mex Snack Mix was the perfect choice. I first spotted this recipe in Our Favorite Appetizer Recipes Cookbook, where it called for just taco seasoning. Tasty, yes—but I knew it could be even better. So I gave it a little upgrade with chili powder and garlic powder for that extra punch of flavor that makes it impossible to stop snacking! Why You’ll Love This Snack Mix Tex-Mex twist – The taco seasoning, chili powder, and garlic powder bring big flavor without being too spicy. Crunchy & salty – A mix of cereal, chips, pretzels, and peanuts keeps every handful exciting. Easy to make ahead – Bake it once, let it cool, and store in an airtight container for snacking all week. Perfect for gatherings – This recipe makes a large batch, ideal for sharing. "
