Equipment

  • Mason jar or sealable plastic bag

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon chili powder Some omit this but it gives it a smoky flavor with a mild kick to the mix. For a spicier seasoning mix, use half chili powder and half cayenne
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoon paprika I used smoked but you can use sweet paprika instead
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Use dried onion instead if you want
  • 1 teaspoon oregano Replace with coriander or dried cilantro if you prefer those
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • All you have to do is stir together chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and black pepper in a bowl!
  • Then transfer to either a small mason jar or a sealable plastic bag and label it. To save some washing, you can place the seasonings right into your storage jar/bag, cover/seal, and give it a good shake.

Recipe Notes

Use 2 tablespoons for every packet of taco seasoning called for in a recipe or for every pound of meat (with no additional salt added).  
The individual serving size is about ½ tablespoon per ¼ pound of meat if making an individual serving.
STORAGE
Store my quick and easy keto taco seasoning recipe in an airtight container or sealable bag for up to 6 months (for ground spices). Make sure to keep it in a cool, dry place.  Of course, if you want to stretch that time to one year you can, but please be aware that ground spices tend to lose some of their flavor after 6 months of proper storage.
There is enough for 3 pounds of meat. If you have a larger family, or if you want to use it more often, feel free to double, triple, or even quadruple our homemade taco seasoning recipe.
There is no need (or point) to freeze it!
