Test Kitchen Tips:•For a little heat, try adding 1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Crushed Red Pepper to your seasoning blend. •To make a big batch of homemade taco seasoning to have on hand, simply double, triple, or even quadruple the seasoning blend part of the recipe. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place up to 6 months. To prepare 1 pound of taco meat, use about 4 1/2 tablespoons of the seasoning blend along with 3/4 cup water.
