Make Your Own: Taco Seasoning

I am a big fan of making my own seasonings because I am able to adjust the spiciness, salt, and quality of ingredients. I also choose to make my own of something I might use often.  I find taco seasoning to be extremely versatile and useful on many of my go-to recipes: roasts, tacos, quesadillas, scrambled eggs, dips, soups… just to name a few.

The ingredients in this recipe are very basic and having the other spices in bulk allows you to use them in other dishes.  Best part is that it’s free of salt, MSG, preservatives and anti-caking agents.  Hello Fresh!

Make Your Own: Taco Seasoning

Makes 9 Tablespoons

Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (or less if you don't like it very spicy)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Directions

  1. Put all spices into a resealable container or small glass jar, mix, label and store in the cupboard. I find 2 tablespoons of seasoning equal about 1 packet of store-bought seasoning.
