Is there anything not to love about tacos?! After all, they are incredibly versatile, filling, fun to eat, and cost-effective. Because of these reasons and more, I think they should rank among the top five greatest foods of all time. Who's with me on this? If you normally reach for a packet of pre-made taco seasoning, I encourage you to give this easy-peasy mix a try--I use it most often with ground beef and cooked/shredded chicken, but it could also be used with ground chicken or turkey.
Ingredients (to use with 1 pound of meat)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp minced onion (or onion powder)
- 1 tsp granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp Tajin (optional)
Directions
- In a skillet, brown the meat of choice you would like for your tacos; then once the meat is done cooking, add about 1/2 c water and all of the seasonings. Mix well and enjoy with your favorite taco shells and toppings.
Note: You can make a larger batch of this seasoning mixture (below are the measurements for a 6x batch) and store in an air-tight container; then use about 2 TBSP of this mixture per 1 pound of meat.

- 2 TBSP cumin
- 2 TBSP minced onion (or onion powder)
- 2 TBSP granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
- 2 TBSP kosher salt
