The Ultimate Taco Seasoning Recipe


  • Author: Elizabeth
  • Total Time: 5-8 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt


Instructions

  1. Measure and Combine: In a small bowl or jar, combine all the ingredients – chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir or shake to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
  2. Toast the Spices (Optional): For an extra layer of flavor, you can toast the spices in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. This step helps to intensify the aroma and deepen the flavors.
  3. Use Immediately or Store: If using the taco seasoning right away, simply add the desired amount to your dish, starting with 1-2 tablespoons per pound of meat or vegetables. For longer-term storage, transfer the seasoning to an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
