Homemade Taco Seasoning is the best! So easy to prepare with a mix of chili powder, cumin, garlic, cayenne pepper – and I add paprika, too.

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: Makes just shy of 1 cup
  • Diet: Low Salt

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup chili powder
  • 1/4 cup paprika
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together all ingredients. Store in an air tight container.

Notes

A trick we learned from cousin and fabulous home gourmet Jim Kidwell is to use a blend of various chili powders – chipotle, ancho, hot, etc. You can find them with the Mexican food in major grocery stores, at farmer’s markets and specialty spice stores.
