Homemade Taco Seasoning
Description
Homemade Taco Seasoning combines several key spices common in Mexican-inspired dishes, including chili powder for warmth, cumin for earthiness, and kosher salt for seasoning. Garlic and onion powders contribute savory layers, while paprika and dried oregano add depth and a touch of herbaceousness. When combined and stored in an airtight container, this seasoning keeps for months.
This seasoning mix can be customized by adding cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for heat or substituting smoked paprika or chipotle powder to introduce a smoky flavor. It works well as a versatile spice blend for ground meat, beans, vegetables, or other taco fillings.
Doubling or tripling the batch helps save time and ensures a ready supply of seasoning for frequent use.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons chili powder
- 4 teaspoons cumin ground
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small airtight jar and close with a lid. Shake to combine.
Notes
- Adjust heat by adding 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for spicier seasoning.
- Use smoked paprika or chipotle powder instead of regular paprika for a smoky note.
- Make larger batches to save time; the mix stays fresh up to six months in a sealed container at room temperature.
