Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon cumin ground
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons oregano dried
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a bowl, add all of the ingredients and whisk or stir until completely incorporated together. Or, shake them together in a jar. Store in an airtight container in a dark cupboard for up to six months.
  2. Use in place of a taco seasoning packet or in your favorite Mexican-inspired recipes. Add salt to the recipes, to taste.

Notes

  • Bulk: make this recipe in bulk and store it so you have it on hand. Click the x2 or x3 in the recipe card above to easily adjust the amounts.
  • This recipe yields approximately 4 tablespoons (1 ounce), which is just slightly more than 1 packet of store-bought seasoning.
  • Salt: there's just enough salt in this recipe to round out the seasoning, but I do recommend using your judgment to also season any protein/veggies you're using.
