Notes

Prefer a salt-free blend? Simply leave it out and you're good to go!

In place of plain black pepper, I like to use cayenne. Since this spice is made from hot chili peppers, it will add a spicy and flavorful heat to your taco blend. You can absolutely add extra if desired. For a mild taco seasoning blend, simply use 1-2 teaspoons of regular black pepper instead.

Recipe yields 9 Tablespoon "servings" of taco seasoning blend to fill a 4 ounce spice jar. Feel free to make more if you need it! Nutrition Facts below are estimated per TBSP using an online recipe nutrition calculator. Adjust as needed and enjoy!
