Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe
I loathe spending a minimum of $0.50 per packet for seasonings, so I’ve made it my mission to recreate those packets at home for less! This taco seasoning recipe is pretty tame but you can add additional chili powder or red pepper flakes to make it spicier! This recipe only yields one ounce so my suggestion would be to make it as is the first time around, but if you like it after that make it in larger batches to fill your desired container.

You are a genius! I love this idea. Seriously, how much cheaper and easier is it to just keep a jar of this on hand?

THANK YOU! I've been looking for a recipe for Taco Seasoning. I want to make my own so I can control the salt content....the pre-packaged ones are way too salty!
