This is a staple! I always have all these seasonings so it's convenient and more cost-effective than buying a premade mix. Being able to salt to preference rather than having the salted mix is also a benefit. I recommend using all the optional ingredients.

I love that I can make my own homemade taco seasoning! I feel empowered for the next time I plan to make tacos I won't need to buy a spice pack, but I can use all the spices I already have on hand! The oregano, cumin and chili flakes add a deep flavor!
