Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons cumin ground
  • 4 teaspoons ground chili
  • 2 teaspoons paprika ground
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried

Instructions

To Make the Taco Seasoning:
    Cup of Yum
  1. To a bowl, whisk together all of the spices: cumin, ground chili, paprika, onion powder, garlic and dried oregano.
  2. Transfer to an airtight container and store in a dark, cool place for up to 1 year.
To Use this Taco Seasoning:
  1. To use this taco seasoning, add 2 tablespoons for one pound of protein such as shrimp, ground beef, flank steak or chicken.
  2. For instance, I like to cube up one pound of chicken breast and add 2 teaspoons of olive oil, the juice from 1 lime and 2 tablespoons of this taco seasoning.

Notes

  • Here's how I like to use this taco seasoning:
  • Zero salt: I didn't include any salt in this taco seasoning on purpose. I find it's best to salt protein according to the type of protein. AND then add the seasoning. I usually gear toward 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per 1 pound of protein.
  • 1 Pound of Protein (chicken, ground beef, flank steak or shrimp) = 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning.
  • 1 Pound of Protein (chicken, ground beef, flank steak or shrimp) = 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning.
  • 2 zucchini = 2 teaspoons of taco seasoning
  • 2 zucchini = 2 teaspoons of taco seasoning
