Homemade Taco Seasoning

This is just a placeholder to put my taco seasoning recipe in. For me only. If you found this page, I'm sorry. You shouldn't be here. There is no spoon.





  • 2  Tbsp chili powder
  • 2  tsp sea salt
  • 2  tsp black pepper
  • 1/2  tsp onion powder
  • 1/4  crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1  tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2  tsp dry oregano
  • 1  tsp paprika
  • 1  tsp cumin
Use 2  Tbsp of the mix per pound of ground beef, brown first, drain, sautee some onions, throw back in with enough water to halfway cover. Slow boil until almost dry.


I'm adding a picture purely for the purpose of pinning this.
