Taco Seasoning Blend
There’s no arguing that pre-packaged taco seasonings are easy and convenient. But if you have just a few spare minutes to make your own blend, you’ll be rewarded with a zesty and flavorful combo that can take a taco, burrito or any other Mexican masterpiece over the top.
Plus, when you toss together my own mixture of spices, you can control how much sodium goes in. You can easily half the recipe for single use or double it and keep leftovers in an air-tight container for future meals.

Question- how much ground meat does the recipe cover if using full strength? I am using 1lb ground beef for tacos. Thanks

Hi J! Great question!To season 1 pound of ground beef, start with 2 tablespoons of Joy’s taco seasoning blend. If you find you need more, add 1 tsp more at a time. Enjoy! — Eliza (Team Joy)
