I cannot have garlic so I make my own chili powder and taco seasoning and the flavor is so much better than the store bought packages. I will never go back to buying premixed seasonings again.

I had a bunch of Thanksgiving turkey leftover. I tried your seasoning reducing the salt and used a bit of broth instead of boullion (mom is on a low salt diet). It was GREAT!! I had some friends try it and now they are hooked! I also added mushrooms and spinach. My sauce was low fat sour cream mixed with salsa! Thanks for the great recipe

I have made my own taco seasoning several times. It is so quick and easy, and I always have the ingredients in my pantry anyway! Here is the one that I use:

Homemade Taco Seasoning:
1 Tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. powdered oregano
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

Mix all ingredients together. Makes 3 Tbsp. of seasoning, equal to a standard 1/4 oz. package of commercial mix.

Enjoy! Thanks for sharing your fajita recipe!! It was delicious!

This is great, And so much more healthy. I used minced onion and garlic cause I didn’t have the powder, and wow! All I can say is thanks, It was a big hit….:)

I never buy store bought taco or fajita seasoning either. #1 I don’t like the taste and #2 it is FULL of sodium.

Instead I usually just blend up our favorite salsa and toss the meat in that…everything is already in the salsa!
