Calories: 27kcal
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup chili powder
- 2 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 ½ tsp Salt
- 1 ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
- Stir the mixture well to ensure an even distribution of spices.
- Transfer the taco seasoning mix into an air-tight container.
- Store the container in a cool, dry place.
Notes
- To use this taco seasoning, use two tablespoons with 1/2 cup of water.
- For a finer texture, pulse the seasoning mix in a spice grinder. This helps to distribute flavors evenly, especially if your spices are coarsely ground.
- If you're making a batch of taco seasoning to last, consider adding a small packet of silica gel to the container. This will help absorb any moisture and keep your seasoning dry and fresh.
- Experiment with adding a touch of sugar or cocoa powder to your taco seasoning mix for a subtle depth of flavor. These ingredients can add an unexpected but delightful layer to your dishes.
- To ensure the freshest taste, try to use spices that are less than a year old. The potency of spices diminishes over time, so using fresher spices will give your taco seasoning the best flavor.
