Easy Homemade Taco Seasoning

Do you ever make your own taco seasoning?

I totally get the convenience of buying packaged taco seasoning, as I too did that for years. But do you know how often those store-bought seasonings have extra crap in them? I’m looking at you unnecessary sugar, oil, natural flavors and/or excess salt, to name a few.

After I stumbled upon a taco seasoning recipe from 100 Days of Real Food many years ago, I’ve never looked back. This recipe is super quick to whip up and simple, with four spices you most likely already have on-hand, plus cheaper and healthier, too!

To make your life easier, I recommend at least doubling or tripling (or quadrupling!) every time you restock the recipe, so you are always ready to make tacos, cauliflower al pastor, salsa chicken, whatever you’re in the mood for!
