Taco Seasoning
Description
The Taco Seasoning recipe combines common dried spices for a mixture of earthy chili powder, warm cumin, fragrant oregano, and smoky paprika, complemented by onion and garlic powders. Salt is included for seasoning, and optional red pepper flakes provide a mild heat boost. This blend can season beef, chicken, or vegetables, adding a familiar Mexican-inspired flavor.
Blending the spices ensures consistency and easy use. The mixture keeps well in an airtight container stored in a cool, dry place for several months. Measurements yield about 3 tablespoons, so the batch can be scaled as needed.
Use this seasoning to quickly flavor tacos or incorporate it into other recipes calling for taco seasoning.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. chili powder
- 1 1/2 tsp. cumin ground
- 1 tsp. oregano dried
- 1 tsp. onion powder

- 1 tsp. smoked paprika (or regular)
- 1/2 tsp. salt (more/less as desired)
Optional spicy additions:
- crushed red pepper flakes 1/4 tsp; or a dash of cayenne pepper; or ground chipotle
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small bowl or jar. Stir or shake until thoroughly combined.

Notes
- This recipe makes approximately 3 tablespoons of taco seasoning; multiply quantities if more is needed.
