Ingredients: Homemade Taco Seasoning

Chili Powder

Onion Powder

Coconut Sugar

Garlic Powder

Salt

Arrowroot Flour

Oregano

Cumin

All of these ingredients are easy to find at any grocery store. I like to always have these seasonings in my pantry for a variety of recipes!

Bob’s Red Mills is my favorite brand for both the coconut sugar and arrowroot flour.

Extra Tips

1. Make it your own: Like it spicy? Add some cayenne. Prefer a smoky vibe? Increase the paprika. This blend is super customizable.

2. Store for later: Keep your seasoning mix in a small glass jar or spice container. It stays fresh and flavorful for up to 6 months when stored in a cool, dry place.

3. Batch it: Mix a larger batch to save time on busy nights—no need to measure every time.

4. Use it beyond tacos: Sprinkle it on roasted vegetables, stir it into soups, mix it with rice, or use it as a dry rub for chicken.
