7 Ingredient Homemade Taco Seasoning

Making your own taco seasoning is not complicated and it really only takes about 5 minutes and 7 ingredients. I will say, if you are used to the premade packets, this will not taste exactly alike because, well, it doesn’t have the artificial flavors in it. However, you do have a healthy option for taco nights now!

Homemade Taco Seasoning Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

Directions:

To make the seasoning, simply add all to a small dish, stir and add it to your recipe. OR you can double or triple the recipe and keep it in an airtight container. I like to keep mine in a half pint mason jar, as pictured or these spice jars work great as well!

If you want to add a thickener, you can add a teaspoon of flour to the mix.
