This homemade taco seasoning mix is simple to make. The best part? You get to add less salt and still keep it flavorful! This seasoning mix works great not only on tacos, but also veggies, seafood, beans, salads, and more!

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 3 tablespoons 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Mix in a small bowl the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. 
  2. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

*This mix makes enough for making 1 pound of ground meat.  You can always make more and have it ready to go whenever you feel like a quick dinner and tacos are a good go-to!

*With this mixture, I added 1/2 cup water after the meat has browned with the mixture.  I stir it all together and let it simmer for a minute.  And then I  added 1/2 cup more water.  Add the water 1/4 cup at a time,  so it’s not too watery, and to your liking.  I like a little sauce!

*If you like it a tad spicy, you can always add red pepper flakes.

*I used just 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, if you like cumin, you can always add more.  I wanted just a hint of the smoky flavor, but didn’t want it to overpower the mix.

*I used just 1/4 teaspoon of salt.  Tacos can have added sodium in the tortilla, cheese, and other toppings.  I chose to go with less, but this is why homemade is great so that it’s also not TOO much!
