Quick and easy taco seasoning mix with ingredients you already have in your pantry! There is no need to run to the store & know exactly what ingredients are in your seasoning.

Tablespoon full of our easy taco seasoning mix.

This taco seasoning is my go-to for any taco night! It has quickly become a family favorite of ours. The classic taco meat flavor with a hint of heat from the red pepper flakes brings out such a great flavor combination. 

I tend to make it bulk so it’s ready to go any night of the week. Although it’s quick to whip one serving at a time for the nights I forget to make it ahead of time.

I never realized how easy it is to make taco seasoning. Growing up, which I’m sure most of you can relate to, we would buy premade packets from the grocery store. As time has gone on and I’ve grown to care about the ingredients we consume as a family, I quickly became aware of the unnecessary ingredients found in the taco seasoning packet. 

Instead, I decided to look up what taco seasoning is made out of and how easy it would be to make at home. Thus this taco recipe was born.

Below I have the taco seasoning scaled for a single use or a bulk recipe you can make and leave in the pantry.
