HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING IS EASY TO MAKE
It’s good to know (as best you can) what exactly is going into your recipes. This recipe is packed with flavor, a little less on the sodium, and no preservatives. Use it whenever you want to spice things up a bit…oh, and don’t worry, it’s not too spicy.
But if you do want it spicier, increase the cayenne.
IDEAL FOR TEXMEX TACOS
Did we mention how amazing this seasoning is when you’re making homemade taco meat for beef tacos?
The flavor is so deep and really delivers that authentic Tex-Mex flavor that we all love so much.
Just look at these tacos and tell us you’re not getting excited about making a batch for you and your family!
This recipe is so good and really easy!
Double or triple the recipe to keep on hand. If using to make taco meat…cook the meat first, then add the seasoning (usually 1 ounce, then add 1 tablespoon of flour, then 1 cup of liquid, ie, stock). NOTE: This makes 2 ounces of seasoning (about 4 tablespoons). The store-bought packets usually are 1 ounce (2 tablespoons).
