Instructions

  1. Combine all of the spices together in a small bowl or mason jar.
  2. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

Notes

  • For every 1 pound of meat, you’ll want to use 2 tablespoons taco seasoning. A typical packet of taco seasoning found at the grocery store contains 1 ounce of taco seasoning. This is equivalent to 2 tablespoons of homemade seasoning.
  • This taco seasoning is mild, but if you want a seasoning that’s on the spicier side, simply add more cayenne pepper to taste. This recipe calls for 1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, you can double or triple this for a spicy taco seasoning.
  • This recipe makes 7 tablespoons of taco seasoning mix. If you’d like to make a double batch of the seasoning, simply click on the 2X button above. The ingredient amounts will automatically update to accommodate the new serving size.
  • The taco seasoning will stay good, stored in an airtight container in the pantry, for up to 6 months. After that the spice blend will not “go bad” but as spices sit longer, they begin to lose their flavor.
  • I recommend storing the seasoning mix in an 8 ounce mason jar. Label the taco seasoning with a date and use the seasoning mix within 6 months.
