Taco Seasoning

Cuisine Mexican

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust for spiciness

Instructions

  1. Gather the Spices: Measure out all the spices and place them in a bowl. You can adjust the quantities of spices to match your taste preferences.
  2. Mix the Spices: Stir the spices together thoroughly, making sure they are well combined.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Before using the seasoning, you might want to do a taste test. This will allow you to adjust the salt, pepper, or other spices according to your preference.
  4. Store: Transfer the taco seasoning mix to an airtight container or a spice jar. Make sure it's sealed well to keep the flavors fresh.
  5. Usage: Use your homemade taco seasoning in any recipe that calls for store-bought taco seasoning. It works well with ground beef, chicken, turkey, or even vegetarian options like beans or tofu.
  6. Cooking: To use the seasoning in your recipes, simply sprinkle it over your protein (or vegetables) as you cook. Use about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the mix per pound of meat, and adjust to taste.
