Easy Homemade Taco’s

Since we’ve been married(3 years) I’ve never once bought pre-made taco seasoning. It’s so quick and easy to make at home and with some ground beef and salsa you have the perfect taco meat!! It’s a favorite at our house!

You’ll want to start by browning your meat. While that’s browning you can mix up your taco seasoning!

Homemade Taco Seasoning

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Pinch of cayenne pepper

Pinch red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon table salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

DIRECTIONS

Mix all spices together until well combined, set aside until ready to add to beef and salsa mixture.

Brown 1 pound of ground beef. Once your meat is browned drain off any excess grease. Then add a 16 ounce jar of your favorite salsa. We prefer hot! And combine it with your meat.
