Mexican Seasoning Blend: Taco Seasoning

There is no need to buy that little package of Taco seasoning. Mix this every few months and keep it in a tight container on your spice rack.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tablespoon each- chili powder and ground cumin
  • 1 Teaspoon each- smoked paprika, fine salt and ground black pepper
  • ½ Teaspoon each- garlic powder, onion power and finely chopped dried oregano
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne (optional)

Use 1 to 1½ tablespoons per 1 pound of ground beef when making tacos. 1 or 2 teaspoons can be used instead of the spices when making our Taco Sauce or about 1 teaspoon to make our corn salsa from scratch.
