Make-Ahead Large Batch Homemade Taco Seasoning
"I have found a lot of taco seasonings that use most of these ingredients, but by experimentation I like this recipe myself. However, try it first making a very small batch first. You may or may not agree with the proportions or ratio of spices in this. I like it this way, but you need to try a small bit first to see if you do before possibly ruining a whole dish if you don't."

Thank you for this recipe. Does it have to go in the freezer or can it stay on the shelf?

Thank you! This is great. I didn't have Mexican oregano so used just plain oregano and I did add dried minced onions just cause I like that in my taco seasoning. This is so easy and so much cheaper than the packages. Hurray. -
Great. I omitted the sugar -
Wonderful - commercial seasonings are loaded with salt and this has none. Thanks for posting. -
Very economical! I bought the bags of seasonings at 99 cents each...I got 2 of these batches from about $5.00 worth of spices...what a deal!!!

<p>I am currently retired and trying to salvage our <br />family heirloom recipes that my mother left 40 years ago hand written on now fading recipe cards. <br /><br />I would like to share some of these recipes with the general public. Of course they reflect the old high fat 'un-healthy style of cooking done fruequently in those days. So, if you see something you like, feel free to try to modify it to a more healthy modern equivalent if you don't think it will hurt anything. I see it this way: recipes are guidelines, not commandments.</p>
