This homemade taco seasoning is a cinch to prepare. We use this blend for tacos, fajitas, burritos, and even to flavor beans. It is far faster than running to the store for one of those little packets and if you’ve read my post about the harmful spices in your cabinet, you are probably ready to start making your own spice blends anyway.

Do you have a favorite homemade taco seasoning blend? What is in it?
My son makes a mix for us that’s really similar but we’ve never used paprika in it! I LOVE paprika! Smart to make a kid and grow up version – ha. A lot of these herbs we already grow, so this could be really economical!
I love making my own taco seasoning! But our problem has definitely been they are just too spicy for my kids. I’m going to save this one to make next time — thank you so much for sharing!
We love buying herbs and spices in bulk and making our own spice blends. This sounds great! We’ll definitely be trying it soon. Thank you for sharing!
