Recommendations

• Use fresh ingredients. Check the expiration dates. The fresher the herbs and spices, the more flavorful your easy from scratch taco seasoning will taste. It truly makes a difference!
• Most grocery store taco seasoning packets contain a lot of sodium. I prefer to leave this ingredient out of my seasoning mix and then add salt to taste when making my dishes. This way, you can cater to your family members who are watching their sodium intake. The herbs and spices in this seasoning mix are very flavorful own their own so you can even skip the salt altogether if you prefer.

How Much Seasoning Do I Use Per Pound of Meat?

I recommend using 2 tablespoons of seasoning per pound of meat for the best flavor. You can use this with ground beef, turkey, chicken, or even venison. To make tacos, simply brown the meat in a skillet and drain if necessary. Add in 2 tbsp of Easy From Scratch Taco Seasoning and about a 1/4 cup of water, add up to a 1/2 cup if needed. You can also add in a 1/2 cup of tomato sauce if you prefer but it is optional. Stir together and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir occasionally and then add salt and pepper to taste.
