Description
This homemade chicken taco seasoning is packed with flavor and perfect for taco night. We love to grind our own whole spices to extract as much flavor as possible.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. chili powder
- 1 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. whole cumin seeds
- 1 tsp. whole coriander seeds
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano (see note)
Instructions
- Place chili powder, smoked paprika and garlic powder in an air-tight container, spice jar or mason jar. Place whole cumin seeds, whole coriander seeds and dried oregano in a spice grinder and pulse until the spices are pulverized (see note). Add mixture to the jar with the chili powder mixture. Seal and shake well to combine. Label and date. Store in a cool dark place for up to 6 months.
Notes
- We suggest using whole spices when possible as they retain more flavor compared to pre-ground spices.
- Use Mexican oregano if possible or substitute dried marjoram.
- Be sure to clean the spice grinder in between uses. Add bread, rice or another dried grain and pulse until ground. Use a dry paper towel to wipe the grinder clean.
- You can also use a mortar and pestle to grind your dried spices.
