Cooks and spices mavens..
I have a nice recipe for a Greek Tacos. It requires "Greek seasoning" which I did not find at the neighborhood market.

Any suggestions of what spices would come close to Greek seasoning?"

Thanks

2. I found one on the web
last time I ran out of Cavender's Greek Seasoning.

Greek Seasoning Blend


2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon beef-flavored bouillon granules
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Combine all ingredients; store in an airtight container.
Yield: 1/4 cup.

5. Here's what mine contains...
The ultimate Greek flavours: oregano, sun dried tomatoes, lots of garlic, lemon and red bell peppers.


If you want all the stuff you can't pronounce then...

7. Just off the top of my head: no googling
a touch of winter, some fall, a dash of summer, and a hint of spring.
