Skip the store-bought packets and make your own taco seasoning with just a few common spices. This blend is free of preservatives and additives, giving you full control over the flavor and salt level.

It makes about 1 cup of seasoning, enough for 8 full batches when using 1 lb of meat per batch. Adjust the chili powder to your preferred heat level.

3 tbsp garlic powder
3 tbsp cumin
3 tbsp Diamond Crystal kosher salt, use half for table salt or Morton's Kosher Salt (see notes below)
3 tbsp chili powder, *
3 tbsp sweet paprika
1 ½ tbsp dried oregano

Converted amounts are rounded.

Method

In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic powder, cumin, salt, chili powder, sweet paprika, and dried oregano until evenly combined.
Transfer the seasoning to an airtight container or jar. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.

💡 Tips

For a milder blend, use 2 tablespoons of chili powder instead of 3.
If using table salt or Morton's Kosher salt, reduce the amount to 1 1/2 tablespoons.
Shake or stir the seasoning before each use, as spices may settle.
