This recipe can’t be easier. Just mix together these few ingredients, store in an airtight container, and you’ll always have your favorite taco seasoning at the ready. Add a little – or a lot – to flavour your taco fillings or use it to make a tasty taco salad. And it’s easy to make it your own: add as little or as much salt as you want, fire it up with more pepper flakes, or cool it down by leaving out the cayenne. It’s up to you!

what you’ll need:

1 ½ tablespoons chili powder

1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon dried oregano

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

Pinch of cayenne

Salt and pepper to taste

what you’ll do:

Mix everything together in a small bowl and store in an airtight container.

TIP: We use an old spice jar (that’s an old jar that used to contain spice … not one that used to contain Old Spice)
