DIY Taco Seasoning

We have been making our own taco seasoning for as long as I can remember. Once I found out all the unnecessary ingredients in the packets you can buy at the grocery store I knew I had to find a better alternative. We try to keep some of this on hand but it’s very easy to mix up in a pinch and all the ingredients are typical spice cabinet spices so you should have them already.

Taco Seasoning

INGREDIENTS
2 teaspoons Chili Powder
1 & 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
1/4 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

DIRECTIONS
Makes enough for 1 pound of meat. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Brown the meat in a large pan, drain and return to pan. Add seasoning mixture to pan with 1/2 cup of water. Stir and bring to a boil then simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and enjoy.
