Notes
- Add a bit of cornstarch to your meat when using this seasoning for the flavor to really stick. You'll be surprised how much it assists in the flavor department.
- If you’re not a huge fan of garlic or onion flavors, reduce the onion and garlic powder by half.
- If you want an additional spicy kick, add ½ teaspoon of crushed red peppers to the mix.
- Like a touch of sweetness to your seasoning? Add a teaspoon of sugar.
- Depending on the brand of taco seasoning you use, 3-4 tablespoons usually equals one packet. You can always start with 2 tablespoons and add more if required to your preferences.
- Once you’ve used the seasoning, you can adjust the spices to match your tastes.
- Be aware that chili powders vary depending on the country they originate from. Each one varies in spices and can drastically change the flavor of your seasoning.
