Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine well. Transfer to a jar with lid and use as need it. 

Notes

 
Store your homemade taco seasoning in an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dark place. It should last for at least six months. 
Recommend Portion: Use 1 tablespoon of seasoning per pound of meat for a mild kick or more to increase the spiciness.
Yield: This recipe makes about 1 cup = 16 tablespoons.
For a Very Mild Blend: Add just two tablespoons of Ground Chipotle Chili Pepper. 
Extra Tip: I like to use a kitchen funnel to transfer my taco seasoning to the storage jar without spilling it.
