Notes

Yield: This recipe makes approx. 5 tablespoons of taco seasoning. A serving is approx. 2½ tablespoons.
Becky's Top Tips:
  • Use about 2 tablespoons of this spice blend to replace a standard 1 oz. packet of taco seasoning.
  • For a low-sodium version, reduce or omit the kosher salt.
  • For a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of chili powder and/or cumin.
Storage: Store chicken taco seasoning in an airtight container or resealable bag in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
