HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING MIX

Much lower salt than pre-made. Salt can be omitted. Great with half ground buffalo and half ground turkey breast or whatever you prefer. Buy bulk spices and you can make 5-plus batches for under $1.00!! Increasing black pepper and adding optional ingredients will increase heat. Using mild or regular chili powder and omitting optional ingredients will reduce heat. To keep salt content low make sure chili powder does not contain salt.

Tips:

  • To ensure a more flavorful seasoning, toast all the whole spices in a dry skillet over medium heat, until fragrant. Make sure to shake the pan or stir often to prevent burning.
  • Feel free to play around with the ratios of the spices to suit your personal taste. You could add more chili powder for a spicier blend, or increase the cumin for a smokier flavor.
  • To achieve an even finer texture, grind the toasted spices in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle before combining them with the other ingredients.
  • Once prepared, store your homemade taco seasoning in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place. It should maintain its flavor and potency for up to six months.
  • To easily transform this seasoning mix into a marinade or sauce, add some olive oil, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. These additional ingredients will add a delightful freshness and tang to your tacos.

With its bold and zesty flavors, homemade taco seasoning is a versatile spice blend that can elevate any taco dish to new heights.
