The Best Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe

This month’s Recipe Redux theme is about favorite kitchen staples that are created from scratch.  The first thing that came to my mind was homemade seasonings, because we eat a lot of lean protein and I like to spice it up!  We love this homemade taco seasoning recipe.  I’m going to show you how to make a homemade taco seasoning recipe that is flavorful and easy to throw together.  I’m also sharing a bonus recipe for homemade fajita seasoning, too!

I do have some favorite store-bought seasonings that I use and love, but it’s fun to make them from scratch, too.  Different spice combos can really add some pizazz to a dish.  Herbs and spices add a great flavor punch, when reducing sodium and fats.

Simply Make it and shake it!

How To Make A Paleo Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe

We eat a lot of fajitas and tacos in this house.  These simple blends are two of my absolute favorites.  My Paleo peeps, just substitute coconut sugar for the brown sugar and tapioca starch for the cornstarch.  You may need to pulse it a few times in a food processor to finely grind the sugar.  Feel free to switch up ingredients to suit your tastes buds, that’s what cooking is all about!  Enjoy.
