Taco Seasoning Recipe That Sizzles in Minutes

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time0 minutes
Total Time5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika (smoked if you have it)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne (adjust for heat)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Grab a small bowl. Measure out all the spices and dump them in. No skimping—this is flavor math, people.
  • Stir until evenly mixed. If you can see clumps, break them up with a quick whisk or shake in a jar.
  • Use 1 tablespoon of seasoning per 1/1.5 pounds of ground meat (or beans for veg) and cook as you normally would. Taste as you go and adjust salt if needed.
  • If you’re making a bulk batch, store in an airtight container. It keeps surprisingly well, and yes, you’ll reach for it again tomorrow.
