Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Paprika (regular or smoked)
- 1 tablespoon Cumin (ground)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Oregano (dried)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper (ground)
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Instructions
Measure out all the spices and place them into a small mixing bowl. Ensure your spices are gluten-free by checking the packaging, especially for chili powder and spices that may have cross-contamination risks.
Mix the spices together thoroughly using a spoon or whisk until they are evenly blended.
Taste a small pinch of the mix to adjust for salt or heat levels to your preference. Add more cayenne pepper for additional heat, if desired.
Transfer the seasoning mix into an airtight container, such as a small glass jar or spice bottle, for storage.
Label the container with the name 'Taco Seasoning Mix' and date it for freshness. The seasoning mix will stay fresh for up to 6 months when stored in a cool, dry place.
Use about 2 tablespoons of the seasoning per 1 pound of meat or vegetables when cooking tacos or other dishes.
