Ingredients

  • 2 Teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • 2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons Onion Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • ½ Teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Add your homemade taco seasoning to your ground beef or any taco meat.
  • If using later, add the entire batch into a mason jar or airtight container.

Notes

Marinating Meat: Use this DIY taco seasoning recipe to marinate chicken, beef, or pork. Add a little cornstarch to ensure the flavor adheres well to the meat.
Adjusting for Taste: If you’re not a fan of garlic or onion, reduce the onion and garlic powder by half.
Spice Things Up: Cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes are great substitutes for smoked paprika to elevate the heat level, ideal for those who prefer their tacos with a bit more spice.
