Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix Recipe

Homemade-Taco-Seasoning-Mix-Recipe-Real-Li

Making your own homemade seasoning mixes is super simple. It can save you money and it’s just kinda fun to make things from scratch…..gives you a good ‘ol “I’m a pioneer,” feeling you just can’t get anywhere else. 

I love to make this Taco Seasoning Mix in a big batch and keep it on hand for Taco soup, Taco’s, Lentil Taco’s and anything else I want to add a little southwestern flare too.

I recently used this mix in a Skillet Taco Spaghetti Recipe that I’ll be posting soon. It was awesome and soooo easy! Easy as in, Hamburger Helper Easy.

I found this recipe years ago on allrecipes.com. It’s a keeper!

I store this mix in a Ziploc bag in my spice drawer and add 2 tbsp + 3/4 tsp of the mix in place of a taco seasoning packet when one is called for.

This recipe makes the equivalent of three taco seasoning packets.

I also love this Recipe for How to make your own Fajita Seasoning Mix. It taste great in all things Fajita!

    I can’t wait to try this as I need low sodium seasonings due to bp issues, and now I can make my own and adjust the salt. Thank you!
