Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp (15 cranks) fresh black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp corn starch (optional)

Directions

  1. Combine everything in a small bowl and stir until evenly mixed. Corn starch is optional but it will help thicken any sauce or absorb excess moisture in whatever you add the taco seasoning to (commercial taco seasoning packets contain corn starch).

  2. Store in an airtight container in a cool dark place until ready to use.
