| Mmm. Real, delicious food. |
When I can, I really try to make my own food. I have this thing with fake food and fillers as ingredients. But my kids really love Taco night, and I would resist it because I hated those ready-made, super salty seasoning packets. But then I thought why couldn’t I make my own seasoning? I was sure there was a recipe out there for that…
So here is what I found and put together. It is delish! Honestly, these were the best tacos we have ever had! And so easy because I had all the ingredients on hand. Give it a try!
Tacos with Homemade Taco Seasoning
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder (I didn’t use this, I just browned onions with the beef)
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- This is enough seasoning for about 1-2 lbs of ground beef.
- Just add it to the beef after it has been browned and drained.
That’s it! So flavourful!


Hi I'm Jo-Anna! I mom. I blog. I cook. I craft. I like pretty things.







Thanks for the recipe!! I’ve got all that stuff in the pantry, so no more premade packets for me!
This was a big hit at our house! I subbed the onion powder for minced onions and simmered the cooked beef and spices in a little broth until it condensed and the onions were nice and hydrated. I personally think it tastes better than the Lawry’s Brand. Thank you so much for posting!
Oh I’m SO glad! We love it too! I also use it in salads, and to spice BBQ meat! Yum!
