If you want, you can double, triple, or even more times this recipe and store it in a small mason jar in your spice cupboard so you can easily grab it when you need it. No need to waste a $1 at the store for a mix ever again!
Did I mention it’s also amazingly delicious? The first time I made tacos from this seasoning, my husband said they were the best tacos he’s ever had! I’m not sure I could ever go back to store bought seasoning packages again after this! It even beats the homemade tacos my mom used to make and that’s a tough challenge! For years I used the Old El Paso taco seasoning packages from the supermarket, but I always cringed when I saw the salt content – in fact, I would throw away half of the mix and double the water just to keep the salt down. And have you noticed that the ingredients of the packaged mix include MSG and several preserving chemicals that are hard to pronounce?
You can make this seasoning exactly to your tastes. Want it spicier? Go for it! Want it loaded with flavour? Add more seasoning! I’m so much happier with the spices that are fresh from my cupboard… Well, as fresh as spices in the cupboard ever get (how long has that garlic powder been in there???), but you know what I mean! It’s way fresher than a packaged mix and definitely healthier!
This homemade taco seasoning takes less than 5 minutes to put together, and it tastes so much better than the packaged mixes! Use it for tacos, nachos, seven layer dip, burritos, chili cheese fries or one of your other favourite tex-mex dishes. It’s a super healthy option that is easy on the wallet and also happens to taste amazing! You’ll never want to go back to the packaged mix again!
