I hear so many people tell me they are concerned with their salt intake, but don’t realize there are simple steps you can take to reduce it. Also, everyone knows I’m a big fan of “do it yourself” so making my own taco seasoning just makes sense. While it is important to know that depending on what spices you buy, there will still be some sodium, what you wont have is the added MSG. Yuck! This recipe will make several batches.
Taco Seasoning
- 4 Tbsp Chili Powder
- 3 Tbsp plus 1tsp paprika
- 3 Tbsp ground cumin
- 1 Tbsp plus 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

So easy, I don’t know why more people don’t make their own!

Oh my word! I have ALL of this on hand all the time. Thank you!

I’d like ot try this but I don’t get what the 1 cup of water is for?

You add the seasoning to the water and then stir into your meat, just as any taco seasoning packet.

For about a year, I have been making my own taco seasonings, although I do it every batch, instead of bulk, like this. It is so much better than the store bought stuff.
I use Chili Powder, Paprika and definitely always Cayenne. Cayenne adds so much more body and depth to the sauce than just using Chili. I usually dice an onion and cook it with the meat and also add diced Chilis or Hot Peppers as well, so the onion powder is unecessary. You are right, there is so much salt it processed, prepared food! I even stopped buying the “Mexican Blend” of cheese, because it was so salty! It would overwhelm the meat! Usually just use a colby jack-chedder mix which has a creamy, sharp taste that really compliments the spice.
I never thought to add Cumin. I’ll have to try that.
Thanks for your great recipes. I found this one from the Mexican Stuffed Shells, which I found on Pinterest!

March 21, 2012 at 12:56 pm
I asked a couple days ago about making a smaller amount of the taco seasoning…is there? I guess I can just cut it in half?? Thanks!! 🙂
March 21, 2012 at 12:58 pm
Yes, just cut the recipe in half.

Usually, with taco seasoning purchased at the store, you add the seasoning packet and water then cook it for a period of time. What are the cooking instructions for this taco seasoning blend? Thanks!!
April 10, 2012 at 8:16 pm
See below the ingredients. You use 2 tablespoons with 1 cup of water, just like the packet.
April 14, 2012 at 10:56 pm
I do make this one! Never have I added water………..I do add salsa however.
October 2, 2012 at 5:13 pm

April 25, 2012 at 5:31 pm

I found this recipe on Pinterest and I love it! Great flavor! I just wanted to say that I used a cup of water the first time and the flavor was just ok but tonight I used 3/4 cup of water and the flavor was more intense! LOVED it! Thanks!

Do you have one for fajita seasoning?
July 25, 2012 at 5:05 pm
Not yet!
April 2, 2013 at 12:13 pm
I make my own, too, but I use ground ancho chili peppers instead of chili powder, and then I add some coriander and oregano. So easy to make, though, and totally customizable for your family’s tastes–that’s what I love!

This fajita mix is very tasty…only wish there was a good substitute for the chicken bouillon.

This looks delicious….I’m definitely going to try it!! 🙂
I’ve been making my own taco seasoning for years (I make most of my own seasoning blends….it’s so much fun!). One thing I do differently is to add a little flour to my taco seasoning mix (this helps thicken the sauce, and it also gives it a smooth texture). For those who cannot use flour, corn starch will serve the same purpose. 🙂
After I have browned and drained my meat, I sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat, stir to coat all of the meat well, and then keep stirring for a couple of minutes, until the taco seasoning begins to give off a nice aroma. Essentially, this process toasts the spices, which deepens the flavor. 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing your taco bake recipe–can’t wait to try it!!!

Add 1TBS of corn starch to the recipe. This will help the sauce thicken when you add water.
May 21, 2013 at 3:17 pm
I suppose you can go ahead and do this, but I never have trouble with this sticking to any of the ground meats I’ve tried.

Can cumin be substituted for cayenne pepper?
March 16, 2016 at 5:52 pm
You’re already adding cumin in the recipe, more would throw off the balance. There isn’t a good substitution for cayenne. Upon Googling Red Chili Powder is the closest.
