Yield: approximately 15oz taco seasoning Easy homemade, gluten-free taco seasoning with only 8 ingredients! A fragrant combination of cumin, chili powder, Mexican oregano, garlic, onion, salt, pepper & chili flakes.
2teaspoonsred pepper flakes *optional for a spicier mix
Recipe notes:
Ground cumin & chili powder: buy these 2 ingredients in bulk if you can since they're the two you'll use most. This should lessen the cost of your taco seasoning mix. There are many different types of chili powder, choose one that is suitable to your tolerance for spice. I typically purchase a "medium-hot" variety (packaging will specify).Mexican oregano: Mexican oregano has a full-bodied flavor and slight citrus undertones where Italian oregano is a bit lighter with notes of mint. Either will work fine but I prefer Mexican oregano for taco seasoning if I can find it at the grocery store.
