I wanted to make some homemade taco mix seasoning, but it seemed most of the recipes I found were either for one or a few meals of tacos. I wanted a REALLY LARGE batch, as I figured if you were going to take the time to buy so many ingredients and then measure them all out, why not take care of it and one fell swoop and be set for the year?
One of our local stores has a huge bulk bin aisle of spices, grains, beans, and nuts. If you are going to attempt this, you would have to buy in bulk because individual pre-packaged containers would cost you an arm and a leg. I bought all the spices for this for about five dollars. I figure this makes enough for 12 or more pounds of burger. We are set a year of tacos!
DIY Taco Mix (Large Batch)
1 cup chili powder
1/4 cup corn starch
1 tablespoon sea salt
1/4 cup ground black pepper
1/4 cup paprika
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons garlic granules
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/4 cup ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground coriander
Mix all ingredients well in a large bowl. Transfer to glass jars and store with a tight-fitting lid.
To use, add 3 tablespoons of mix to 1 pound ground beef and cook until burger is browned. Add 3/4 cup water and simmer for about 20 minutes until liquid is reduced.
Great idea and I love that pre-mixed shot. Lovely.

The packaged mixes in the store have so much salt. This is so much better and looks like a great mix. I’m sharing this one (and making a batch.)

Why thank you Juliette! I have been out of town. I actually packaged this mix up in individual decorated packets and gave them away as gifts to some special friends I met up with as a surprise! This makes great homemade gifts too. 🙂
