Our love for Mexican food inspired me to make party mix with taco seasoning. The flavor is so mild that it's even kid friendly. —Elizabeth Wynne, Aztec, New Mexico

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Rice Chex
  • 3 cups cheddar miniature pretzels
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 envelope cheesy taco seasoning
