Easy Taco Seasoning is so quick and easy, you’ll give up the packaged stuff for good! Keep a jar of it in the pantry or spice rack so you can enjoy tacos any night of the week, not just Tuesday!
Tacos are and will always be one of my family’s favorite dinners. What makes tacos so good? The seasoning! I’m all about making tasty dinners, but when school is in session I need something quick. Having this Easy Taco Seasoning already mixed up makes weeknight tacos a breeze to cook up.
How spicy is Easy Taco Seasoning?
The great thing about making your own taco seasoning is that you can adjust the heat level. I consider this recipe mild and balanced, but you can completely omit the cayenne pepper if you are heat sensitive.
How long will Easy Taco Seasoning keep?
This spice mix keeps just like your other spices. I like to make a new batch about every other month.
Stay tuned for an amazing Ground Beef Taco recipe you are sure to love! It incorporates this taco seasoning mix and is perfect for the weeknight cook!

September 18, 2018 at 9:06 AMI agree 100%! Why buy the premixed stuff? It is loaded with salt! It’s so easy to make your own at home and a great use up for your spices, so that they don’t stale!
