Thought I’d hare a little kitchen/life hack with you today – Large Batch Homemade Taco Seasoning. Since the majority of store-bought taco seasoning mixes include thickeners, which can contain gluten, I’ve been making my own single-serving homemade taco seasoning for the last several years. Recently, though, I realized I could save a ton of time if I didn’t have to take out 8 spice jars every time we have taco night and thus, Large Batch Homemade Taco Seasoning was born!
Watch How to Make It
Gluten, Dairy, Thickener and Preservative FREE
I mixed and multiplied until the flavors were just right, and now have a HIUGE jar of pre-made homemade taco seasoning mix that’s not only gluten free, but free of artificial colors, flavors, and anti-caking agents, too. Plus it’s preservative-free. You know what we call that? An UPGRADE!

This taco seasoning blend is medium in heat. If you prefer a spicier taco seasoning mix, use spicy chili powder and/or add up to 2 teaspoons red chili pepper flakes, or cayenne pepper.
How to Make This Recipe
All you have to do is add spice cupboard staples to a jar, then shake it up. I love using mason jars, but a pyrex glass container or Tupperware container works great too.
Ingredients Needed
Chili powder Cumin Salt Pepper Paprika Garlic powder Onion powder Dried oregano
That’s it! Shake, shake, shake.
How to Use It
To use the seasoning mix, brown 1lb ground meat then add 2 – 2-1/2 Tablespoons seasoning with 1/3 cup broth or water, then simmer until the liquid has thickened and reduced, 1-2 minutes. Easy. As. That. Enjoy this little way to make life a lot easier!
