Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. chili powder
  • 2 tsp. cumin
  • 2 tsp. paprika
  • 2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 tsp. fine sea salt

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to mason jar, or airtight container. Shake until combined.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Will stay good for up to a year.

To Use

  • Use roughly 4 tbsp. of seasoning per pound of ground meat.
  • After meat has finished cooking, add ⅓ cup water, plus 4 tbsp. (or to taste) of taco seasoning per pound of meat. Allow to simmer for a few minutes prior to serving.

Notes

If you like a little spice, try adding some red pepper flakes.
I always double/triple the recipe so I have plenty to store and on-hand when I'm in need of taco seasoning.
