Homemade DIY Taco Seasoning Mix from Spinach Tiger

If you’re like me, you probably thought taco seasoning mix was simply spices. Well think again, there are all kinds of ingredients you do not want in your food.

What is taco seasoning mix?

It’s a mix of spices and herbs that you probably already have in your pantry.

Chili powder, cumin, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, ground red pepper or cayenne.

I suggest you make this as your base, taste it, and then add more of whatever you like. You can make it more spicy or add in more cumin or more salt.

I happen to love my DIY taco seasoning mix as is, especially with my surprise herb. I didn’t have dried oregano and substituted herbs de provence. That may sound a bit crazy to you, but it works for me. Another good substitute for oregano is dried thyme.
