Whole30 Taco Seasoning Recipe
For the longest time I used to think that making my own seasonings was a huge waste of my time. I started to pay a little more attention to what was really in those store bought mixes and I decided to give it a try and never looked back! When I make my seasonings now, I double or triple the recipe, and keep them in air tight containers so I can use them on a whim at any time!
Tacos are one of our weekly staple meals. I like to switch it up between ground turkey, chicken , and occasionally ground beef. I love having taco meat on hand for a few days to make a salad for myself at lunch or other dishes for dinner another night of the week.
What is in Taco Seasoning?
Traditional taco seasoning, like this recipe, includes onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper.

I will give you the recipe that I use to make taco seasoning, but cooking is all about making your food flavored perfectly to your taste, so feel free to experiment a little if you would like a little more or less in any way.
