Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions

  • Add all the spices to a small bowl or jar. Whisk (or shake) together.
  • Use immediately or store at room temperature for about 6 months.

Notes

Can I use this taco seasoning for something other than chicken?
I especially love this spice combination on juicy, tender chicken (for ground beef or turkey taco meat I like a little less cumin and adding a little brown sugar for a touch of sweetness!) However this blend of spices works great as a taco seasoning for any meat and you can use it for any recipe that calls for taco seasoning– taco seasoning is taco seasoning!
Use 2 Tablespoons of seasoning mix for every 1 pound of chicken (or meat of choice).
