Servings 2 tablespoons

Ingredients  

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder 
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika 
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 

Instructions 

  • In a small bowl, stir together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, onion powder, salt (optional) and pepper.
  • Use immediately or store in an air-tight container for up to 6 months. 

Notes

  • This recipe makes about 2 tablespoons, which is the perfect swap for 1 packet of store-bought taco seasoning.
  • Spices don’t really go bad in the same way as perishable foods do, but they do lose their flavor and potency over time. Give it a sniff—if the aroma has faded, it’s time to make a fresh batch.
