Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons cumin
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 1.5 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 0.5 tablespoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Thoroughly mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Pour into a jar or canister that seals and store in a cool, dark place until ready to use.

Notes

  • If you use a larger jar, or a mason jar, you can shake your Taco Seasoning together in the jar. Mine was packed too tight for shaking!
  • This Taco Seasoning is average heat, what I would call Mild. For added heat, add 2 teaspoons of red chili flakes or use a spicier chili powder like cayenne.
  • For a smokier Taco Seasoning, substitute chipotle chili powder for some or all of the chili powder.
  • If you hate cumin, leave it out.
  • If you are avoiding salt, yes I actually added salt this time, leave it out if you like…I won’t tell.
A package of Taco Seasoning is equivalent to 1 ounce/2 tablespoons.
The serving size for a 1 oz package is 6 servings. This Taco Seasoning is 8 tablespoons/1 cup total which I guesstimate to be 48 total servings.
