  1. I made two batches of this tonight and it is wonderful. It took just minutes to make and it taste great. I used it in My Sisters Taco Soup which is a soup that my sister gave to me.(Yes I posted it here)I have a batch redy o go for the next time. I will never use the store bought stuff again.<br/><br/>UPDATE:12/27/12 Over the weekend before Christmas we had dinner at my son's dads place and his Step mom was out of taco seasoning and was about out the door to the store to get some. I got on my phone and got this recipe up, my son made it and not a complaint one form any one, I don't think anyone even noticed the difference.
     
  2. I don't leave reviews very often, but had to for this. I've been looking for a homemade taco seasoning recipe for a loooong time. My husband is very, very picky on what flavors he likes, and the ones I've made in the past were not strong or flavorful enough. My husband also LOVES taco bell, and we used to frequently get the taco bell seasoning packets at the store. We both love this so much we only make this, and my husband said it's much better than the packets at the store.
     
  3. It was very good! Stop buying the taco seasoning. My son said it tastes like Taco Bell!
     
  4. This is great stuff! I leave out the flour, and double the amounts of chili powder and cumin (and I grind my own cumin). I keep forgetting to review this recipe, but I've about six batches of this so far.
     
  5. My daughter loves tacos made with Taco Bell seasoning packets and our store stopped carrying them. After trying other packets that were too spicy, I decided to look online for a recipe. This is it! I followed the recipe as posted and she said it tasted just like the packets I used to buy. Thanks so much for posting! I'll be making up a large batch of this!

Tweaks

  1. DELISH! I added a couple dashes of table pepper and Herdez hot salsa.. And combined the meat with all the seasonings in a bowl, then mixed it with clean hands. Put 3/4 water in pan to warm, then poured the meat in. You have to really stay on top of it to chop the meat up to extremely fine over med high heat, then turn it down. But still stay on top of it chopping it down to a fine layer. Delicious!!
     
  2. I haven't made this yet but, since my Dad and I both have to watch our salt intake I would sub garlic and onion powder for the salted versions.
     
  3. I made this tonight for a taco salad made with hamburger meat. I accidentally used onion powder instead of onion salt, and I didn't have any cumin; so I just left it out. But it was still really good. I will be keeping this recipe and using it again, hopefully next time with all of the proper ingredients.
     
  4. Yummy!! I browned my meat with an onion and three garlic cloves. I also added chopped tomotoes and used the juice from the tomatoes instead of water. Finally, I put some chili beans in the mix and had a wonderful meal. Thanks for posting the recipe!!
     
  5. Worked great! I subbed the onion flakes for a tsp of onion powder, and added a 1/2 tsp of chipotle chili powder for a bit more flavour. Cheers.
