Taco Seasoning is a staple at our house. We use it for taco meat, taco pasta, chicken breasts, taco soup, and even for preparing a whole chicken. I used to only buy the store-bought taco seasoning mix packets or bottles, but not anymore! After making my own homemade taco seasoning recipe there was no turning back.

DIY Taco Seasoning

There’s nothing like knowing exactly what goes into your food. When it comes to Taco Seasoning, we know that most store-bought packets have some extra ingredients we can do without. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be used. I’m all about easy and they sure come in handy sometimes.

It’s so easy to make homemade taco seasoning, though. The ingredients you’ll need are probably spices you already have in your pantry. So yes, a good seasoning packet from the store like McCormick Taco Seasoning or Old El Paso Taco Seasoning will always be a go-to when I’m in a pinch. But after you try my easy taco seasoning recipe, you’ll always want to have a big batch on hand!

    We absolutely loved this seasoning. My boyfriend wants to give it a 10 out of 5 stars. Used it to season boneless skinless chicken breast and served with roasted vegetables on flour tortillas.
