Is there a more multi-purpose seasoning blend than homemade taco seasoning? Making your own batch is a delicious and healthy alternative to packets from the store with added or unwanted ingredients. Gather your spices and create a savory mix that can be used in tacos, soups, casseroles, salads, dips, and oh so much more!
Use 2 tablespoons of seasoning to replace 1 packet of store-bought seasoning, adjust to taste
Notes
If you like a more mild flavor, try leaving out some of the pepper or garlic powder. Counteract some spice in your meal by adding either an acid like lemon juice or a dairy product.
To make it spicier, add a bit of cayenne or crushed red pepper.
Use 2 tablespoons per pound of ground meat or when substituting for 1 standard packet.
Be sure to store in a completely dry and clean airtight container
Best to consume within a few months, but seasoning will last as long as the expiration of the individual spices used.
