Homemade Taco Seasoning

[Lamb]

I haven't bought a packet of taco seasoning since I found this recipe somewhere online (forgot to bookmark it).

Homemade Taco Seasoning

2 Tbsp. Chili Powder
2 tsp. Ground Cumin
1 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
1 tsp. Oregano
1 tsp. Sea Salt
1/4 tsp. Paprika
1/2 tsp. Cayenne Pepper

I mix this all together and put it in a ziplock baggie with the name of what it is as well as the date I made it.

How long is the seasoning good for?

Cool, thanks for sharing!

I forgot to say that I think I add this to 1 1/2 pounds to 2 pounds of browned (and drained) ground beef and then add some water letting it simmer for about 15 minutes.

George, I always use mine within a couple months so I'm not sure how long it will keep in the plastic baggie. I'm guessing you wouldn't want it in there more than 6 months?

Seriously? We're talking about tacos here. Is it really going to last long enough for that to be a concern? It certainly wouldn't in my house

Not eating enough tacos to use up the spice. If ever there was something that should have been added to Leviticus it's that

Substitute larger units as required. I'm thinking that "teaspoon" needs to be something more like "bucket"

Going to have to try that recipe out. I love tacos. Personally I'd add more hot pepper to it but chances are we'll keep it as is and I'll add hot sauce to my tacos.

I was thinking the same thing! I usually double the amount and the baggy doesn't even last a month in this house.
