Taco Snack Mix Recipe – SO good! I took this to a party and it was the first thing to go. Everybody asked for the recipe!! Bugles, Goldfish pretzels, Cheez-its cheesy crackers, peanuts, taco seasoning, and vegetable oil. Toss together, bake and enjoy! This is a great snack for after school snacks, parties, game day, and movie night.
In the largest bowl you have (or two large bowls), combine bugles, pretzels, Cheez-It crackers and peanuts.
Whisk together taco seasoning and canola oil. Pour oil mixture over bugle mix and toss thoroughly to combine.
Spread mix onto one or two large baking sheets.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
Store in an air-tight container.
Notes:
Can use any flavor of Bugles corn chips.

You can use any flavor of Cheez-It crackers.
Oyster crackers are equally delicious.
Is Taco Snack Mix spicy? We did not think this was spicy. For an extra kick of heat, add crushed red pepper.
Can substitute pretzel twists for Goldfish pretzels.
For a more intense flavor, increase the taco seasoning.
Do I have to cook the snack mix? No. You can mix the snack mix with the oil and seasonings and let the mixture sit overnight.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
