Homemade Taco Seasoning

how to make homemade taco seasoning | By making your own taco seasoning, you get all of the flavor, and none of the filler!

I love taco seasoning. Yes, I love using it to make regular weeknight tacos, but I also love using it for crockpot chicken tacos, taco soup, 7-layer dip, and more. We go through a lot of taco seasoning in our house, and instead of stocking up on packets of store-bought taco mix, I love this homemade spice blend that my mom has been making for decades. It smells amazing and fresh, and you get to control exactly what is in your tacos, which I always love. With only a handful of ingredients that you most likely have in your spice cupboard, it doesn’t take too much longer to put together than it takes to tear open one of those taco seasoning packets from the store. And if you really want convenience, you can make a larger batch, keep it in a jar in your pantry, and just scoop it out as needed. And if you just want to open the jar and take a deep breath every once in a while, that’s totally understandable. I told you, it smells totally incredible!

  1. Love the taco seasoning! I recently made enchiladas, and was ridiculously happy that I made my own sauce, rather than using store bought. Yay!!
