Ingredients (~1/2 cup seasoning mix)
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 2 Tbsp ground cumin
- 1 Tbsp sea salt
- 1 Tbsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Combine All of the Spices
Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl until thoroughly combined.
The final mixture should be uniform in appearance (i.e., no visible streaks of individual spices).
Store in a Sealed Container
Transfer the mixture into a glass jar or container with a lid that closes tightly.
This mixture will have a shelf life of approximately six months when stored in a cool, dry place, but the spice flavours will be at their peak between one to three months after creating it.
Be sure to label the jar with an appropriate date for your records.
How Much Seasoning is Needed?
For ground beef, use approximately 2-3 tablespoons for every pound of ground beef. A good starting point would be to use two (2) Tbsp and taste it as you go; remember you can always add more seasoning, but it will be impossible to remove any excess seasoning once added.
For additional uses of this taco seasoning mix recipe, try adding one (1) teaspoon mixed into mayonnaise as a topping for a sandwich or add a pinch of the mixture to macaroni and cheese.
