Homemade Taco Seasoning

Why buy the packets that have icky ingredients when you can make your own and know exactly what is in it! 

Ingredients: 

• 2 tbsp Chili powder
• 1 tbsp Cumin
• 1 tbsp Sea salt
• 1/2 tbsp Black pepper
• 1/2 tbsp Smoked paprika (or regular paprika if you don’t have smoked)
• 1 tsp Dried oregano (or dried cilantro)
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp Onion powder
• 1/8 tsp Cayenne pepper (or 1/4 tsp if you like spicy)

Instructions: 

• Combine all the spices in a small bowl. Stir together, until uniform.
• Store in an airtight container or small glass jar.

Notes:

• Serving size: 1/2 tablespoon
• How to use it: I recommend 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning per pound of meat. See ways to use it above for more details and recipe ideas.
• Recipe yield and serving size: This recipe makes about 6 tablespoons, or enough for 3 pounds of meat. That’s usually 3 meals at my house, at 1 pound of meat each. If you have a larger family, or if you want to make this seasoning blend even less often, feel free to double, triple, or even quadruple it. The serving size (1/2 tablespoon) is enough seasoning for 1/4 pound, which is usually how much meat you’d have for one serving.
• Storage: Store this mix in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, such as spice jars with lids or a small multi purpose jar. It will last 1-2 years, but is best used within a year for the best flavor. You can also freeze it if you like.
