This homemade taco seasoning has been a saving grace in my kitchen—and for by budget! Plus, I don’t need to worry about all the additives that you can find in store-bought seasoning. It’s only got ingredients you recognize and may already have on hand to whip up whenever you get a taco craving.

I make a big batch of this (usually do a quadruple batch) and save it in a tight seal jar, so I don’t need to make it every time I want Mexican food. And you know what? I think it’s even better than any I’ve bought in the store—and my whole family agrees.

Quick tip: This is great for flavoring other things besides ground beef—try with chicken or pork or to make seasoned rice.
