Easy Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe
An Easy Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe can be made with ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. Don’t limit yourself to just a normal taco with this recipe. This isn’t a seasoning just for ground beef which most think of for tacos.
This seasoning is also good for other recipes such as Fajitas, Chicken Nachos, or Taco Soup. I love making my own spice and seasoning mixes so I can control things like being too hot or spicy, or even the salt level.
This is a great combination flavors for any of your Mexican or Tex-Mex recipes. Double or triple the recipe to have this on hand.
