Taco Seasoning

You can make your own Taco Seasoning for a lot less than the store-bought packets. It is much more economical. Our recipe would cost at least $10 in the store.

Many recipes you find on the internet do not include a thickening agent. Our recipe includes cornstarch.

Taco seasoning is a blend of spices commonly used to flavor tacos and other Mexican-inspired dishes. It includes dried onion, chili powder, garlic, cumin and oregano, among other spices.

2 tablespoons = 1 packet taco seasoning
