Chances are you don’t want to make taco seasoning one use at a time. It makes so much more sense to have a jar of pre-made seasoning. This recipe makes about 1 cup. Three tablespoons equals one packet of the purchase seasoning.
Taco Seasoning for Gift Giving
- 1/4 cup and 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1-1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1-1/2 tsp onion powder

Combine all the seasonings and store in a dry place.

Hey, thanks for the recipe. My kids prefer the seasoned beef so this will come in quite handy!
It is nice to have it just waiting for you…
Clever idea for a gift! I’ve a couple friends who are stovetop-challenged and something like a good spice mix will help them to get some confidence. Thanks for the recipe and idea.
Your “stovetop-challenged” made me laugh… I know people like that too…
I have lots of friends who are paleo, diabetic, gluten-free… This is a great idea for everyone on special diets. Thank you!
You are right… I made this for a gluten free friend (along with a couple of other things). It amazes me just how many things have gluten.
