I love making homemade taco seasoning for ground beef whenever I can because it's so much more flavorful than storebought. Not only that but the MSG that comes in the packets triggers my migraines so I avoid premade when I can.

💭 FAQs
You will need 2 tablespoons worth of this taco seasoning mix to flavor one pound of cooked ground beef. You can always add in a little more or less depending on what you prefer.
This blend of spices can last several weeks in an airtight container at room temperature before expiring. The older it gets the less potent the flavors will be but honestly, this blend can last almost indefinitely, just like regular spices in the pantry.
Besides flavoring your ground beef and ground turkey meats for tacos, you can enjoy enchiladas, chili, and so much more. I often use taco seasoning in place of chili seasonings when making a pot of chili, or I'll sprinkle on a little taco seasoning when I'm making a plate of nachos to help add flavor without the meat.
