HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING
A simple combo of zesty spices create a perfectly flavored Taco Seasoning:
- chili powder
- ground cumin
- onion powder
- garlic powder
- paprika
- dried oregano
- Red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper
Mix it all together and VOILA!
One batch of this Homemade Taco Seasoning is equal to about two store-bought packets, but it’s also packed with much more flavor and freshness.
OPTIONAL ADD-INS
- The pepper flakes are enough for us, BUT if you like a little more heat, I suggest to stir in a bit of cayenne pepper. Start with mixing in about 1/8 of a teaspoon, taste, and decide if you want more.
HOW TO STORE HOMEMADE TACO MIX
- Stir to combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container or spice jars for up to 3 months.
