Ingredients
  

  • 8 Tablespoons Dried Diced Onion
  • 4 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 4 Teaspoons Chili Powder
  • 4 Teaspoons Coriander
  • 5 Teaspoons Cumin
  • 3 Tablespoon Paprika
  • 2 Teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • 1 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric
  • 3 Teaspoons Salt

Method
 

  1. Place all the ingredients in a glass mixing bowl.
  2. Stir or whisk until the spices are evenly combined.
  3. Transfer the seasoning to a clean, dry airtight container.
  4. Label the container with the date and store it in a cool, dark spice cabinet.
  5. Shake or stir the seasoning before each use because the ingredients may settle.

Notes

  • Three tablespoons replaces approximately one standard taco seasoning packet.
  • For milder seasoning, omit the cayenne or reduce it to 1/4 teaspoon.
  • For a spicier blend, increase the cayenne to two teaspoons.
  • Turmeric is my personal addition and is not traditional. It can be omitted.
  • Store the seasoning in an airtight container for six to eight months for the best flavor.
  • This recipe makes about 19 tablespoons, enough to season approximately six pounds of meat.
