Chicken Taco Seasoning

I make chicken tacos every Tuesday for my family, and I use about 2 heaping spoons of chicken taco seasoning every time. Before, I used to buy the spice mix from the store, but now I make it myself! It is so easy and convenient for me.

Chicken Taco Seasoning

I always find it more budget-friendly, convenient and even fresher to make my own spice blend.

Another reason for making my own seasoning is that my husband prefers low-sodium seasoning, which isn't available in store-bought seasoning. So, I made him a batch without salt and labeled it a low-sodium spice mix.

In this recipe, I enjoyed testing different combinations of spices to achieve the perfect flavor for chicken tacos.

So, let's make delicious chicken tacos using a fresh homemade spice mix.

What's In This Recipe

Here are all the ingredients I used to make this recipe (check the photo above); you will find the complete information on ingredients and quantities in the recipe card at the end of the post.

• Ground Cumin
• Chili Powder
• Ground Coriander
• Salt
• Black Pepper
• Smoked Paprika
• Red Pepper Flakes

This spice mix has some heat; if you are not a fan, I recommend using only half the chili powder or simply skipping the red pepper flakes.

If you want to make an even fresher spice blend, I recommend buying whole spices and grinding them yourself.

How To Make This Taco Seasoning

It is so simple! Add all the spices to a small glass jar, shake well until they are combined, and keep the jar in a dry, dark place, like your kitchen cabinet.

How To Use This Taco Seasoning

I use these seasonings not only in chicken tacos but also in grilled chicken, chicken marinade, and beef recipes as well.

The recipe is perfect for 2 pounds of chicken or meat; it yields 4 tablespoons. So, if I make only 1 pound of ground chicken, I only add half of the recipe (2 tablespoons) and store the other half for next time. It will stay good for at least 6 months.
