homemade taco seasoning recipe in a bowl with a spoon

Live every night like it’s Taco Tuesday!

This delicious, homemade taco seasoning recipe is a simple way to save money. It’s also much healthier than the pre-packaged versions you buy at the store.

Most of the nine spices in this recipe can be found at the dollar store (and you can add or subtract amounts to cater to your family’s taste preferences)! This recipe also makes a pretty large batch of taco seasoning – enough to season up to six pounds of meat (depending on how spicy you like your tacos)!

    What could be a substitute for red pepper flakes? I have red pepper cayenne…..

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Found this online—> “If you’re looking for a substitute in a recipe calling for red pepper flakes you can use ½ teaspoon of cayenne powder per ¾ teaspoon of Red Pepper Flakes.”

    Do you add water to this like you would with a taco season packet? If so, how much? Thank you!

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Yes and I would say 2/3 cup water is fine. Thanks so much!

      • mashelle

        thank you

  3. Nichole

    Do you drain the hamburger when using for tacos? Thanks

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi Nichole! You can drain the meat as needed. That can vary as to the fat content of the meat you have. Be sure to do what works best for you! Hope that helps!

      • Nichole

        Thanks

        • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

          You’re very welcome!

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Yes I do – most likely depends on the fat content of the meat you buy. I know real lean beef won’t need as much draining. 👍

    I just wanna say that this is truly the best taco seasoning ever! I ve made it over and over and it has its own taco seasoning jar in my spices. I can’t understand who, how and what, comes up when you google things, but this seasoning should pop up number one if it’s going by how good it is. I retire November 2023 if it’s the Lord’s will for me to see it, I’m gonna try a bunch of recipes from here. BTW, the taco soup here is terrible….terribly delicious. The reason I say that is , I over it EVERYTIME I make it, gone in two days and I live alone, it is terrible I say ( for my goals)! Hahaha Keep up the great work making delicious recipes

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Aww, thanks SO much for the amazing review, Gloria! 🙌💖Happy this seasoning is number one on your list! Congrats on your upcoming retirement! Hope you enjoy the other recipes you decide to try out! 💗🤗
