Equipment

1 medium bowl
1 spice container

Ingredients

4 teaspoons ground cumin
4 teaspoons ground chili
2 teaspoons ground paprika
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

To Make the Taco Seasoning:

To a bowl, whisk together all of the spices: cumin, ground chili, paprika, onion powder, garlic and dried oregano.
Transfer to an airtight container and store in a dark, cool place for up to 1 year.

To Use this Taco Seasoning:

To use this taco seasoning, add 2 tablespoons for one pound of protein such as shrimp, ground beef, flank steak or chicken.
For instance, I like to cube up one pound of chicken breast and add 2 teaspoons of olive oil, the juice from 1 lime and 2 tablespoons of this taco seasoning.

Notes

Here's how I like to use this taco seasoning:

- 1 Pound of Protein (chicken, ground beef, flank steak or shrimp) = 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning.

- 2 zucchini = 2 teaspoons of taco seasoning

Zero salt: I didn't include any salt in this taco seasoning on purpose. I find it's best to salt protein according to the type of protein. AND then add the seasoning. I usually gear toward 1 teaspoon of kosher salt per 1 pound of protein.
