Beef Seasoning for Tacos

Name: Beef Seasoning for Tacos
Prep time: 2 min
Yield: ± 100 ml
Cuisine: Tex-Mex
Ingredients: 6 tsp Chili powder; 6 tsp Ground ancho chile; 5 tsp Paprika; 4+½ tsp Ground cumin; 2+½ tsp Onion powder; ½ tsp Garlic powder; ½ tsp Cayenne pepper; ½ tsp Salt

This homemade beef taco seasoning delivers a warm, slightly smoky, mildly spicy Tex-Mex flavor. Chili powder and paprika form the base, cumin provides the characteristic taco flavor, while onion, garlic, and a touch of cayenne round everything out.

The result tastes very close to Old El Paso’s Tex-Mex taco seasoning mix. It is a great homemade alternative when you want that familiar flavor while controlling the ingredients, salt level, and amount of heat yourself.

Simply combine all the spices and store the seasoning in an airtight container until you are ready to use it with ground beef for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, or other Tex-Mex dishes.
