Taco Seasoning Recipe
Description
The Taco Seasoning Recipe combines chili powder (American style), cumin, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic and onion powders, oregano, red pepper flakes, and cayenne pepper. This mix delivers layered savory and mildly spicy flavors. Using American chili powder ensures moderate heat without overwhelming spiciness, as opposed to some international chili powders which can be hotter.
Preparation involves simply stirring all ground spices together and storing them in an airtight container to preserve freshness. The seasoning can be applied at about 2 1/2 tablespoons per pound of meat for tacos or related dishes, or adjusted as needed.
This seasoning is convenient to have on hand for easy flavoring of meats, beans, or vegetables in Mexican-inspired meals. It’s easily scalable and shelf-stable for months when kept cool and dry.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 Tbsp cumin ground
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp oregano Mexican oregano is great, but regular will work just fine, dried
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes crushed
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 6 months.
Notes
- Use American chili powder for this blend, as other chili powders may vary significantly in heat.
- This recipe produces about 5 tablespoons of seasoning, enough for roughly 2 pounds of meat.
- Adjust the batch size by doubling or halving the ingredients as needed.
- Store the seasoning mix in a sealed container away from heat and moisture for up to 6 months.
