Homemade Taco Seasoning

Jump to Recipe Rate The Recipe

I grew up eating tacos almost every weekend. It was one of our most requested “kid meals”. We would even have contests to see who could eat the most. My brother ate 7 tacos once, SEVEN! I still crave them. But, those little packets that made the tacos so delicious and so crave-able contain some less than savory ingredients (processed oils and MSG!). Just check out these labels…

Well, I rolled up my sleeves and decided to just make my own. The fun part about making your own is that you can mix it up a bit and add more heat! I know exactly what goes into my homemade taco seasoning now, no hidden chemical ingredients. They still taste amazing!

    1. So on a quick google search, it looks like the packets contain about 1/4 cup on average. This recipe makes just over a cup. So it makes about 4 servings. I really add it to taste in all of my recipes.

    1. I really add it to taste. My favorite ways to use it is in taco meat, mixed into sour cream for a dip, and dusted on my dehydrated pumpkin seeds. I do all of those to taste 🙂

  3. I think you can use less of the homemade mix (maybe 2 Tbs. per pound of meat) since it doesn’t contain fillers such as cornstarch, found in the packaged mixes.

  4. Bookmarking this! I always am unprepared when a recipe calls for taco seasoning because I refuse to do store-bought.

  5. How hot is this? If I get store bought I would get mild.
    And I don’t eat chili, so I am not familiar with what chili powder tastes like.
    Thanks

    1. It has a kick to it, but its completely individual. I LOVE spicy foods so it does not seem hot to me at all. But, if you do not like spice then it might be a little hot. You can always adjust to your taste by using less chili powder.
