all-purpose taco seasoning

The blend of spices in taco seasoning may have been designed for tacos and fajitas, but it’s also a quick way to add a touch of Southwestern flavor to black beans, skillet dinners, chicken, steak, seafood, and dressings. A batch of this recipe lasts me 3 to 4 months, costs pennies compared to organic options, and avoids excess sodium and fillers that can be found in others.

1/4 cup chili powder

2 tablespoons ground cumin

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon paprika

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 Stir together all the ingredients in a small bowl.

2 Store in a jar or airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.
