This homemade taco seasoning is a flavorful, all-natural blend of spices without any added sugars, fillers, or anti-caking agents. Perfect for seasoning ground beef, chicken, turkey, and even casseroles or frittatas, this easy recipe yields a fresh, versatile spice mix that keeps well at room temperature for up to six months.

Ingredients

Scale

Spices

  • 1 Tbsp Chili Powder
  • 1.5 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika (regular or smoked)
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine Spices: Add all the spices—chili powder, cumin, black pepper, sea salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes—into a small bowl.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Stir the ingredients together until fully combined to create an even seasoning blend.
  3. Store the Seasoning: Transfer the mixed taco seasoning into a spice jar or any airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 6 months to maintain freshness.
  4. Season Meat: When ready to use, add 2-3 tablespoons of the seasoning per pound of fully cooked ground beef, chicken, turkey, or any preferred protein. For best results, add a splash of water to the meat after seasoning to keep it moist while allowing the flavors to soak in thoroughly.

Notes

  • Two tablespoons of this homemade taco seasoning is equivalent to one store-bought packet of taco seasoning.
  • Feel free to scale the recipe up for batch preparation.
  • This seasoning can also be used in casseroles, frittatas, and other dishes besides meat.
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for optimal shelf life.
