Jackie on 2025-08-13 (5 stars): This is DELICIOUS!! I added a bit more salt after I cooked everything. I also added maybe 1/2 t of sugar. I cooked it, and I wasn’t sure how I liked it at first. I put it in the fridge because I made it early in the day so dinner would be ready when I got home. Sitting for a bit improved the flavor dramatically. The addition of this taco seasoning produced the best taco salad I’ve ever eaten. Thanks Lisa! This is another winner. I have loved every recipe I’ve made from your website.
Theresa on 2025-08-11 (5 stars): The best taco seasoning recipe I've come across in a long time! I've been making a lot of your recipes lately and EVERY single one has been a hit!
Kim on 2025-08-11 (5 stars): Love this homemade recipe! I will never buy the mix again! It has such a unique flavor!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Amy on 2025-07-26 (5 stars): I’ve tried homemade taco seasoning recipes for years and finally found my favorite: this recipe. It’s SO delicious! I’ll never buy a packet again!
Jasmine Smith on 2025-07-20 (5 stars): This is my new go-to taco seasoning recipe! I have all ingredients on hand and I have more control over what I’m seasoning my food with compared to grocery store pre-made taco seasonings. I used to love them but this is a budget friendly and healthier alternative! SO GOOD!
Sherry on 2025-07-17 (5 stars): I haven't bought taco seasoning packets since discovering your recipe. It's perfect!
M Clark on 2025-07-13 (4 stars): This was a great recipe I just wish the water amount was added. I used a cup for 2lbs of ground turkey. I do not like the taste of cumin at all. It really over powered the other flavors so I added tajin! A life saver 😊
Thank you for the basement recipe! I can't wait to play around and tweak it more!
dana on 2025-07-12 (2 stars): It was not a good combination of flavors. I did not like what it did to my ground beef. The flavor signature was not pleasant but was edible.
Tanya Evans on 2025-07-06 (5 stars): Just. Perfection.
Terri on 2025-06-22 (5 stars): Just made it, and we'll never buy packets again! I added some onion salt (can't use onions because of my son), and we all really enjoyed it!!
Thank you!
