This comes highly recommended and is used as you would any store bought envelope of taco seasoning mix...but, of course it contains no nasty,unpronouncable preservatives.



* 6 teaspoons of chili powder
* 5 teaspoons paprika
* 4 ½ teaspoons cumin
* 2 ½ teaspoons onion powder
* 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
* 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Combine all ingredients in a jar with a tight fitting lid. Mix by shaking well. Store in a cool dry place for up to 6 months.


This recipe for taco seasoning makes about ½ cup or 21 teaspoons.
Note: 7 teaspoons of this mix will equal one package of store bought taco seasoning.

I have used the same ingrediants for years for Tacos...it really makes a good seasoning. A household favorite!

It does make a very well tasting taco seasoning....I actually use those ingredients for a bunch o stuff
Luckily my man is happening to make tacos/burritos for my birthday dinner...yummo I'm more hungry now!

Thanks! Everytime I buy this stuff, I think it must be so much better (and less expensive) to make it myself!
