Taco Seasoning Tips and Variations

  • Any of these seasonings can be adjusted to your taste. Feel free to use more or less of any of them or eliminate some altogether. 
  • This recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, or quadrupled to make a larger batch.
  • Add more chili powder for more heat. 
  • Store bought taco seasoning packets are typically about 2-3 tablespoons of seasoning so this homemade batch will last you a few meals. 
  • Add a touch of water to your meat when using this seasoning so the meat stays moist while cooking.
