I started adding to my collection of homemade spices and seasonings not so long ago and since then, I’ve never looked back. Okay, maybe if I’m super pressed for time but otherwise I now definitely prefer making and cooking with homemade spices and seasonings.
My latest addition to the spice rack is this Homemade Taco Seasoning! Made up mostly of powders and one dried herb, it’s an absolute cinch to make – you just need 5 minutes and a spare spice jar to make a fresh batch of Taco seasoning that you can enjoy in any Mexican-inspired dish.
RECIPE TIPS
- Use 2 tablespoons of this homemade taco seasoning for every pound of meat.
- Don’t worry if you bought more powder than what is needed for this homemade taco seasoning – keep them stored in an airtight container like a mason jar as they’ll come in handy for making more of this seasoning or can be used in other seasoning recipes and added to other dishes.
- If you want a hot spicy taco seasoning, simply increase the quantity of chili powder or add some cayenne pepper to the mix.
