I keep saying that I want to make my own taco seasoning instead of using the store bought packets! Is the recipe above enough for one meal?
You should totally do it, Carrie! It's so simple to make. :)
This recipe makes about 4tbsp of taco seasoning. I used 3 in the taco soup that I made but if you were using it to season say 1.5lb of ground meat, I'd say that 2tbsp would work so you would get two meals out of it.
I use SO much taco seasoning around here I need to make my own. Thanks for sharing.
Great Idea~! We love to make Tacos, and I have been trying hard to make things healthier and less processed around here :D
Have a fabulous and inspired day!

I think I'm going to have to try this. In the store bought packets you combine water with the meat and seasoning…do you eliminate the water and just season the meat? Thanks.
Hi Rebecca!
You can add water if needed. It makes it easier to mix the seasoning into the meat. :)
Love this! I am totally making this instead of buying those over-salted packaged kinds. Thanks so much for sharing! And thanks for linking up to our Keep Calm & Link up party – hope to see you again next week!
