Ingredients

• 1 1/4 ounces Taco Seasoning mix, Old El Paso
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper, cayenne
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 2 cups pecan halves (about 8 ounces)

NOTE: If the yield of this recipe is changed from 2 cups, the measurements listed inside the directions will have to be adjusted.

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 deg F. Line 15x10x1-inch baking pan with foil; spray foil with nonstick cooking spray.

3. Remove from heat. Stir in pecans. Pour mixture into sprayed foil-lined pan; spread evenly. Bake at 350 deg F. for 15 minutes, stirring once.
4. Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine remaining taco seasoning mix, remaining tablespoon sugar and remaining 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper; mix well.
5. Remove pecans from oven. Place pecans in medium bowl. Add spice mixture; toss to coat. Return pecans to foil lined pan.
6. Return to oven; bake an additional 5 minutes, stirring once. Cool 15 minutes or until completely cooled.
