Homemade taco seasoning is a simple blend of everyday pantry spices that comes together in minutes and adds warm, bold flavor to any taco filling.
Ingredients
Directions
This taco seasoning blend is delicious, preservative-free, and made entirely from simple pantry or spice-cupboard staples. A touch of cornstarch gives the sauce that glossy, velvety finish you get from store‑bought packets—only this version tastes fresher and so much better. The spice levels are easy to adjust, and the recipe is written to perfectly season 1 pound of ground meat, whether you’re making tacos, burrito bowls, or a quick weeknight skillet.
In a bowl, combine 1 teaspoon each of chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cornstarch, mixing until the spices are evenly blended. This creates a balanced, taco‑style seasoning that’s earthy, warm, and savory, with the cornstarch helping the mixture cling to whatever you’re cooking.
To use this seasoning with ground meat, cook the meat first, drain off the excess fat, then stir in the spice blend along with ¾ cup of water.
Simmer for 10 minutes, then serve.
Enjoy!
