    What Is Taco Seasoning Mix?

    Taco seasoning blend is infused with a variety of flavors that can be found in your spice cabinet. It’s the perfect addition to the pound of ground beef you’ve just bought from the butchery for lunch or dinner.

    Depending on your personal taste and preference you can add to its spiciness.

    You can also sprinkle generously on your taco salad, ground turkey, and even sour cream. It goes perfectly with everything. A great thing, isn’t it?


    Homemade or Store-bought?

    Next time you’re hosting Taco Tuesday, dedicate 5 minutes of your morning, afternoon or night to prepare this blend. I’ll tell you the reasons why you should opt for that instead of the taco seasoning packets.

    If we want to measure the quantity in the packets you buy from the local grocery store, we’d find that they only contain around 3 tablespoons.

    For big families, these packets of taco seasoning are nothing more than a few sprinkles.

    Therefore, preparing this recipe at home enables you to control the quantity you need and use the spices you love. Always go for a big batch!

    Nonetheless, nothing beats fresh food or condiments made at home so, that’s more than enough for you to stop buying and start doing your own taco seasoning mix yourself.

    Finally, you’ll rest assured that the taco seasoning mix is 100% natural, preservatives and food colorants free.

    Not to forget that homemade recipes is much cheaper on the long term. As one batch of this mixture can last for up to 2-3 taco nights!
