Reduce your sodium intake while customizing this taco seasoning blend to suit your taste preferences. Say goodbye to store-bought packets and hello to guilt-free, flavorful tacos!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon chili powder, see notes
- 2½ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoon smoked paprika, or regular paprika
- 1½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano, or regular Mediterranean oregano
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature in a cool, dark spot.
- Use 2 to 3 tablespoons of this blend for every one pound of ground meat anytime a recipe calls for a packet of taco seasoning.
Notes
- Chili powder: many chili powders are actually a blend of ingredients, including coriander, cloves or allspice, and may also contain salt (as well as processed additives). Read the ingredients to know exactly what's in it, or look for labels that identify a single chili pepper variety, like Ancho Chili Powder or Chipotle Chili Powder.
- Customizing: adjust the amounts of each spice to create a blend that suits your taste. Add cayenne or red pepper flakes for a spicier version.
