Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (or smoked paprika)
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix all the spices together in a bowl. Use immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • You can easily double, triple or quadruple this recipe to make a larger batch. Then, in the future just use two tablespoons of your taco seasoning mix per one pound of ground beef.
  • I don't add any onion powder to this mix because I typically add freshly diced onions to ground beef recipes. But feel free to add that spice as well, if you'd like.
  • This seasoning will last for up to one year.
  • To see inside my own spice drawer, don't forget to watch my spice drawer organization video.
