Taco Balls - Foody Friday - Recipe

James and I are always trying to find or think of quick but yummy lunches and snacks. WE love to take a ton of ingredients and mix them together to see how they turn out. Well this is the case for us. James is part Mexican. I love Mexican food, As does he. We wanted tacos but did not have tortillas, we were both at home in our comfy clothes just relaxing so neither of us wanted to go to the store. I opened the fridge and saw that we had a few packs of crescent rolls. LIGHT-BULB! then they were born... and delicious! Taco Balls...

DIY Meat Rub { Beef }

For the guys of my family this year, I made them little baggies of seasoning for beef. I wanted to do big jars of them for each male of the family, however, to be completely honest, it was just way to expensive. So a little one meal bag is what they got. I made cute little labels and everything! :D

I just mixed all the ingredients together and put about 4 tbsp in each baggy, then attached a tag and used a twisty tie to close it.
