Taco Seasoning
Description
The recipe involves combining measured quantities of each spice thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors. The seasoning keeps well when stored in an airtight container placed in a cool, dry, and dark spot such as a pantry or drawer. Proper storage preserves freshness, aroma, and potency for several years, though the mix may slowly lose strength over time.
Using this homemade seasoning allows precise control over the flavors and salt content of taco dishes. It can enhance a variety of proteins or veggie fillings, supporting versatile taco preparations. The spice mix is ready to use once combined, making it a convenient addition to your spice cabinet.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1½ teaspoon cumin ground
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients together in a bowl. Transfer to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry, place.
Notes
- Store taco seasoning in an airtight container with a screw-top lid to maintain freshness.
- Keep the spice blend in a cool, dry, and dark place such as a pantry or drawer.
- Properly stored seasoning remains potent for 3-4 years but may lose intensity over time.
