What is taco seasoning mix?

Taco seasoning mix is commonly found in the Mexican sections of well stocked grocers.

It is a Mexican-style seasoning mixture of spices, chiefly chili powder, cumin, oregano, onion powder and salt.

Store-bought prepared taco seasoning mixes are typically very generous with salt so we recommend making your own so you can control your sodium levels.

Use this recipe to make your own taco seasoning mix.
