Taco seasoning costs about $1 for a single packet. I always make my own now instead of getting packets from the store. This recipe makes one cup of seasoning (equivalent of about 8 packets). The notes section of the recipe card includes measurements to make the equivalent of a store-bought packet (2 tablespoons total).

You can store the taco seasoning in an air-tight container. I typically make note of the soonest expiration date on all of the spices I’ve used in it, and I use that as a rule of thumb for how long it should keep.

Looking for recipes to use the taco seasoning? Try these inside out enchiladas.
