Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe
Description
The Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe combines a variety of dried spices including paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cumin, as well as dried parsley and oregano. Optional red pepper flakes add heat if desired. The oregano and parsley are rubbed between the hands before mixing to convert them into a finer texture, which helps even seasoning.
This seasoning is meant to be used primarily for meats, with a recommended quantity of 1 tablespoon per pound, allowing control over overall saltiness since salt is excluded intentionally. This provides flexibility for personal taste adjustments.
The mixture can be stored in a tightly sealed container for up to 3 months without losing potency, making it convenient to prepare in advance and keep on hand.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon paprika
- 2 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoon garlic powder
- ½ tablespoon lemon pepper
- ½ tablespoon black pepper
- ½ tablespoon cumin ground
- ½ tablespoon parsley dried
- ½ tablespoon oregano dried
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional if you want a hotter seasoning)
Instructions
- First, rub the oregano and parsley between the palms of your hands until it is nearly a powder.
- Then put all of the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and stir until the ingredients are equally dispersed.
Notes
- Use approximately 1 tablespoon of seasoning per pound of meat, adjusting to taste.
- Salt is not included in this blend so you can control salt levels precisely; add salt gradually to your dish as needed.
- Store the seasoning in a sealed container for up to 3 months to retain freshness.
