Notes
1 batch yields 2 Tablespoons, enough to season 1 pound of ground meat or 3 pounds of chicken pieces.
If using Morton kosher salt, reduce the salt volume by half.
To season meat for burrito bowls: Brush with olive oil, then sprinkle over steak, chicken, or pork before grilling or searing. Apply about 2 teaspoons per pound of meat.
To make tacos with ground meat: Brown the meat in a skillet. Add 2 tablespoons per pound of meat and stir in ¼ cup of water. Simmer over medium heat until the water is reduced.
Storage Information
Store taco seasoning in a small airtight jar or zip-top bag at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight. Write the date on the container. It's best used within 1 year.
