Best Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix Recipes
HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING MIX
Much lower salt than pre-made. Salt can be omitted. Great with half ground buffalo and half ground turkey breast or whatever you prefer. Buy bulk spices and you can make 5-plus batches for under $1.00!! Increasing black pepper and adding optional ingredients will increase heat. Using mild or regular chili powder and omitting optional ingredients will reduce heat. To keep salt content low make sure chili powder does not contain salt.

Steps:
- Heat oven for taco shells. Start browning meat. Mix taco seasoning dry ingredients. While meat is browning, grate cheese and chop tomatoes; prep lettuce; get out condiments that you want to use. Watch for meat to get about 1/2 browned. When meat is partially browned add taco seasoning mix and continue until fully browned. After browned completely, add 1/2 to 1 cup water and the 2 tbsp tomato paste and cook down on low to blend flavors. It is about now that you would put your taco shells into a preheated oven. The cook times vary: 3 - 9 minutes depending on brand. Finish prepping condiments and toppings while meat mixture simmers down to almost no liquid but is still moist. Used it with 1 lb ground lean beef, corn taco shells, cheese, salsa, avocados, tomatoes. May serve with sour cream..

MY BEST HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING MIX
Years ago I used to buy those packets of taco seasoning mix, and at first they really weren't too bad. Not at all. Then through the years they got worse and worse, and I'd have to doctor them more and more until I finally just got fed up. They became VERY expensive little flour and salt packets with almost no flavor at all. Sooo, I've come up with my own starting from several that I found and incorporating my own ideas and tastes. This is truely a good mix! Don't waste another penny on junk, make it better homemade! Enjoy!! :D Photo by me.

Steps:
- Cook meat with or without jalapenos. Drain grease. Mix all dry seasonings and flours and whisk or shake in jar to mix. Sprinkle evenly over meat, toss meat to coat. Add bouillon, beer and ketchup. Stir til mixed. Heat to boiling, reduce heat and simmer til thick. (About 15-20 minutes.)*If using beer, don't worry, it doesn't taste like beer and most of the alcohol will cook out. This is especially good when using beef or pork cubes because beer is a natural meat tenderizer. When I make pork tacos, I simply use pork loin chops and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Since this doesn't cook long, if using beef, use a tender cut such as sirloin steak or better. (Photos by me. Mix made with cubed pork loin chops in main photo.)
HOMEMADE TACO SEASONING MIX
This is a simple recipe that makes about the equivalent of 3 prepared packages. ETA After reading Bea's comment I thought that I should mention here that I rarely add salt to anything.......except popcorn and corn on the cob. lol. So from what Bea said......it sounds like 1 teaspoon of salt should work in this mix if you choose...
