If you are anything like me, you like to make your seasoning
blends at home. There is just something about using the freshest spices, with
no stabilizers, that makes seasoning blends the best. Today I am giving you what
I consider to be the absolute ULTIMATE taco seasoning mixture ever! Two of the
ingredients in this mix I have told you about before, tomato powder and
Worcestershire powder. (You can read what I had to say about them here, and
you can find the tomato powder here
and the Worcestershire powder here.) I strongly encourage you to get both of these. If you make soups or
stews, hamburgers or meatloaf, or any type of seasoning blend, these two
powders are going to enhance it tremendously. There is a world of difference
between seasoning blends that include these, and those that don’t. Make your
seasoning blends extra special and include these two powders. My complete
recipe is below. This is enough to season 2 pounds of ground beef for tacos.
You can cut this in half, or, do what I do and, at least, double it. You are
going to want to keep this on hand.
“Ultimate” Taco Seasoning
1 tablespoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon paprika
1½ teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon tomato powder
½ teaspoon Worcestershire powder
Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container. Two heaping tablespoons equals one commercial packet.

If you are looking for a recipe in which to use
this fantastic seasoning, I recommend this DELICIOUS Taco Meatloaf.

OOoh nice, I love making my own seasoning blends and keeping them in a mason jar with a green parmesan cheese cap on top. I'm on an economy kick so I can't order those powders yet, but I will keep a lookout for them in the store - Maybe Central Market has them...thanks for the taco meatloaf recipe, too!
ReplyDeleteJust missing the Worcestershire powder!!Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat meat looks so delicious. I must try it.
ReplyDeleteI've used the same taco seasoning recipe for years, but I am going to have to try yours. I'm betting it will be superior to my old one! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like using homemade spice mix and your Taco seasoning mix looks great! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday for the party this week. Hope you have a great week and come back to see us real soon!

I love to make my own seasoning for tacos, meatloaf, chili, etc. Fresher and more flavorful with far less sodium!!! I don’t have any Worcestershire powder, but while here in New Orleans I will look for some. The story of making my own seasoning will be more interesting to my friends and family if I can rub it in that the Worcestershire powder came from NOLA!!! If I don’t find a spice shop here, I will hit up Planters in downtown Kansas City when we return home. I’ve never seen it in any of the “regular” stores around town.
