Hello Friends! Today I’m adding another favorite to our pantry staples — homemade taco seasoning. With the busy school year in full swing, it helps to have dependable, ready-to-go blends on hand. This one is packed with flavor, super simple to make, and far more economical (and healthier!) than store-bought packets.
We use this seasoning most often for taco night (obviously 😉), but it’s just as delicious in our Homestead Chili or a warm pot of taco soup. Once mixed, it stores beautifully in a mason jar for months — making dinner prep a breeze.
You’ll find the downloadable recipe at the bottom of the post, and I’ve included a few ways we use this mix below.
This flavorful blend is incredibly versatile! Here are just a few ways we use it on the homestead:
Taco Night – Mix 2 tablespoons of seasoning with ¼ cup of water and 1 pound of cooked ground beef or turkey.
Homestead Chili – Add a tablespoon or two for extra warmth and depth.
Taco Soup – Stir into a simmering pot of beans, tomatoes, and corn for that classic Tex-Mex flavor.
Seasoned Rice or Potatoes – Sprinkle over roasted potatoes or mix into rice for a quick and tasty side.
Homemade Tortilla Chips – Dust freshly baked chips with a pinch of seasoning for a savory snack.
Once you try this mix, you’ll never go back to store-bought packets again!
We hope this taco seasoning recipe earns a permanent place in your pantry like it has in ours! It’s one of those little homemade touches that makes dinner feel special — even on a chaotic Tuesday night.
