This simple chicken taco seasoning is filled with bold, authentic flavor and uses only 7 simple ingredients. Perfect for chicken, other meats, and veggies!
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons salt, 2 tablespoons cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon onion powder.
Place the seasoning in an airtight jar, label it with the date, and keep it in a cool, dark cabinet for up to 6 months.
Notes
Check Spice Freshness: Weak or musty spices won't give you the best results
Use 2-3 Tablespoons Per Pound: This is the ideal amount for perfectly seasoned chicken.
Mix With Oil First: When using this seasoning on meat, I like to stir the seasoning into a tablespoon of olive oil so it sticks well to the meat and doesn't burn.
Double the Batch: Make extra to save time since it stores well.
