PostsMega’s Taco Seasoning Recipe
Dec 28th, 2007 by Brian
What a great taco seasoning recipe. You’ll never go back to those “envelopes” again! This makes enough to season about 2lbs of ground beef, IF you like your seasoning on the mild side. I usually double or quadruple this recipe, because I like it hot, and there will be enough for the next time.
- 1 Tablespoon and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1-3/4 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1-1/4 teaspoons sea salt
- 1-1/4 teaspoons black pepper
Yield = 8 1/4 teaspoons
Since you have to get out the 9 spices to mix this up, why not double or quadruple this recipe… storing the rest in an air tight container?
As for how much to add to the meat, eyeball it, and let it simmer 5-10 minutes before tasting for flavor. I prefer 3 Tablespoons per pound of meat… and it gets hot!
