Let's face it, most people love tacos. I know my honey certainly does – tacos, fajitas, anything remotely Mexican. But one of the things I hate most about making them is reading the ingredients list of the taco seasoning packets. Ugh!
Luckily, I found several recipes that sounded good, and cobbled them together into a delightful recipe for home made taco seasoning. And not only does it not have all the icky chemicals, it is by far the very best taco seasoning I have ever had! It totally leaves the pre-made stuff in the dust.
Ingredients:
- 1 c corn starch
- ½ c salt
- 1 c chili powder
- ¼ c black pepper
- ⅓ c garlic powder
- ⅓ c ground cumin
- ¼ c dried leaf oregano
- ¼ c ground coriander
- ½ c paprika
- 2 Tbsp smoked paprika (find it. it is worth it.)
- 2 Tbsp onion powder
- 2 Tbsp thyme
- 2-3 Tbsp cayenne pepper
- 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
You can either layer it very prettily in half-pint mason jars as shown (2½ batches should fill 1 dozen jars), or blend it together in a food processor first. Store in an airtight container.
Use about 1/4 c per pound of meat to be seasoned. Print this post
