I love a good taco seasoning; however, I don’t like all the extra chemicals you get when you buy the premixes at the grocers. I was making a new batch of this seasoning this morning, and I thought I would post it. This recipe contains all the usual suspects for a good spicy taco seasoning. Once you make a batch, you’ll want to adjust the spices to your own personal tastes. These amounts are based on what I like to see in a spicy taco seasoning. It’s got a kick, but I wouldn’t call it overly hot… Note: this is primarily for ground beef. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

2 tablespoons ground cumin

How To Make spicy beef taco seasoning

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

Gather your ingredients.
Step 3

Add them to a glass jar, shake up, and tightly cover.
Step 4

Chef's Note: Some people will add cornstarch or arrowroot to their seasoning mix. The idea is to have a bit of a thickener in the dry spice when you use it. In my opinion, if I want a taco spice that includes a thickener... I'll add it when I'm cooking... NOT to the dry spice mix.
Step 5

Chef’s Tip: Store in a cool dry place, out of the sunlight. It should be good for six months. Enjoy.
Step 6

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
