I can get my kids to eat almost anything with ketchup or homemade ranch dressing<\/a> on top\u2026 or if I season it with taco seasoning! I know many moms who keep taco seasoning packets on hand to use in the thousands of kid-friendly ways suggested by Pinterest.<\/p>\n I lived in Texas for much of my life and fell in love with the flavors of both Tex-Mex and authentic Mexican cuisine. This taco seasoning mix is a family favorite recipe we\u2019ve carefully perfected over many years.<\/p>\n Ground beef, chicken, eggs, or even a veggie scramble\u2026 it\u2019s all better with this taco seasoning blend on top!<\/p>\n Why go through the trouble of making your own seasoning mix when you can buy a packet of taco seasoning at the store? Here are a few reasons I like doing it:<\/p>\n When you make taco mix yourself, you\u2019ll find it\u2019s incredibly easy! You only need a few basic spices:<\/p>\n Measure in the ratios below, mix in a small bowl or mason jar, and store for use! It\u2019s that easy. This recipe should give you a starting point but feel free to adapt it to your family\u2019s tastes and make your own \u201csecret\u201d recipe.<\/p>\n I use the spices above in many other recipes, so it\u2019s great to have the option of using them on their own or combining them into various homemade seasonings. See the whole list of my favorite spice mixes below.<\/p>\n We use our DIY taco seasoning the most in:<\/p>\n There are so many options (not all of them are good\u2026 I\u2019ve seen some of the kitchen experiments my kids come up with!). So try some of this seasoning for your next taco Tuesday.<\/p>\n Use 2-3 tablespoons of this spice + \u00bc cup of water per pound of ground meat. Add the spice and water while the meat is browning and cook on medium-high heat until the water has evaporated and the meat is fully cooked. You can use a pound of ground beef, turkey, or even shredded chicken.<\/p>\n \tWhy Make Homemade Taco Seasoning?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
