Name: Taco Seasoning
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Ingredients: 1 tsp garlic powder; 1 tsp onion powder; 1 tsp dried oregano; 2 tsp cumin powder; 2 tsp paprika; 1/4 tsp chilli powder ((adjust spiciness to taste)); 1 tsp salt; 1/4 tsp black pepper

Homemade taco seasoning is so much healthier than store bought - it's preservative free, less artificial tasting and is a fraction of the cost. This recipe makes enough taco seasoning for 1lbs/500g of meat. I also use this for Quesadilla Fillings.

Taco Seasoning

garlic powder

onion powder

oregano

cumin powder

paprika

tsp chilli powder ((adjust spiciness to taste))

salt

tsp black pepper

Combine ingredients.

Store in an airtight container.

Makes 2.5 tablespoons. Combine with 1lbs/500g mince meat, 1/2 cup water, 1 diced onion and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste.

Threw this together very quickly from my pantry basics for my Gluten Free friend who was staying over unexpectedly. Made a couple of amount adjustments to our taste, and on her recommendation, added dried corriander leaves as well.Upped the salt, paprika and cumin to balance the corriander. I always use 2 tins of crushed or diced tomatoes as my liquid instead of water also. Brilliant!

I tried this and loved it. We now have made up a jar of it so it is on hand and I never need to buy the packet one again.

Made nachos with this last night for my son &amp; he loved them! Wolfed them down in fact. Thanks Nagi :-)

I procrastinated so long, opting to keep buying the packet stuff, rather than trying this. Well, I finally have, and it tastes exactly the same! So good! Will never buy a packet of additive seasoning again. Thank you.

I am someone who generally cooks from scratch but for some reason have always used taco kits (for “quick dinner” nights). Quite mortified at how quick and easy this seasoning actually is and absolutely delicious - not to mention how much cheaper! I also made my own tortillas which turned out perfectly and I will never be buying a rip off taco kit again!

Great recipe. Everyone loved the balance of flavors. This is also a great base for Chili Con Carne. I made up a few serves and popped it in a jar to use as needed. Thanks Nagi!

Loved this! I added 1 tsp of sumac and 1/4 tsp to get the slight sweet and sourness of the packet mix. Will definitely never buy a packet again!

WOW impressed!
I will never buy seasoning again.
Ahhhhhmazing flavour.
Super impressed.
Currently writing it down in my recipe book and your cook book that I bought.
Thanks. Xxx

PEREFECT!! Loved this so much :-) Thanks Nagi

This is awesome! My kids prefer this to the store bought. I made one modification, instead of regular dried oregano, I used Mexican Oregano. Makes a world of difference as it is brighter in flavor!

Loving it! Not buying store bought anymore. Have to admit, have been using 2 tsp on our 1/4 cup of popcorn and even took a bag of it to the Matilda's soccer game.

OMGosh Nagi!!! Consistently fantastic!🥰😁

I'll never buy ready made taco seasoning again. So easy. Really tasty. Everyone loved it.

Perfect! I can’t use store bought seasoning due to allergies so I’m very grateful for your recipe. I added vegeta vegetarian stock to make extra salty (probably not needed).

This seasoning is so much better than any store bought. I’ve made it twice recently and it’s my go for Taco’s. Thank you Nagi!

I'm not a big fan of oregano so used coriander instead, hands down the best taco spice mix I've tried! Thank you!
