Why Make Your Own Seasoning Blend?
Unlike some store bought seasonings, my homemade version is suitable if you are following Whole30 or if you are vegan, paleo, low carb or dairy-free. Pre-packaged spice mixes can contain dextrose, silicon dioxide, oil and ethoxyquin and other additives that you don’t need!My homemade version only contains natural ingredients with no added sugar.Making your own taco seasoning is not only super easy and healthier, but it will also save you money! This basic recipe can easily be adjusted to your preferences, too. Add a bit more chili if you prefer things on the hot side, or more oregano if you prefer an herbier taco seasoning.
Chef’s Tips
We like using 2 tablespoons per 1 pound of ground beef for really flavorful meat, but you can use less if you’re adverse to spices, or even more if you love a little kick in your meal.Check that your spices aren’t stale before using them. Rub a little between your fingers and if it doesn’t produce an aroma, buy more spice!Store the spice in an airtight container, and the mix will be useable for up to 4 months.This recipe is easily doubled, so if you are a fan of Mexican food amke a big batch so it’s always on hand.
