How To Make Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix - Save Money And It's Better.

[@Deanna974]

Oh, Robin, you have no idea how much I love your recipes. I haven't tried this one yet, but I trust that it will be excellent. Your cilantro rice recipe is a hit in my family, and has given me the reputation of "The Cook" among my friends. :D

[@joseph4185]

I tried this recipe and it is so much better than store bought. Thanks!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Thank you Joseph, I couldn't agree more!

[@joseph4185]

@@RockinRobinCooks Would you happen to have a Chili Powder recipe for homemade chili?

[@Thaneii]

I love making my own spice combos for the exact reasons that you mentioned. Thanks, Robin, for sharing this with us.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Thanks Jack, I appreciate the comments. Happy New Year!

You are welcome! So much better than store bought! Enjoy.

Thank you for sharing your Taco Season recipe. I will start making my own taco seasoning. ☺️

[@thecrazyvato4123]

thank you Robin just made some fajita tocos. My brothers love the taste. we got tired of just salt and black pepper. the taste is better then from those truck tacos. my mother always said is better to cook at home.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

This is good. I always add 1/4 tsp of cocoa powder and a pinch of sugar to mine. Also cornstarch to thicken, but you can add that after adding the water.

[@gtrell1991]

Ingredients in the description would be so helpful. Thanks for the recipe, I cannot wait to try it!

[@hollywoodharriet13]

Have been making my own spice mixes and salad dressings for many years, but sometimes I am not completely happy with my taco seasoning, so definitely going to try your blend to see if I can improve upon the one I've been using. Thanks Robin!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Let me know how you like this!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Hi crunchy, I think I bought the measuring spoons at Bed, Bath and Beyond. They are pretty cool and I like how they have two different shapes for each size. They are magnetized too so they stick together when stored.

[@kathyburt8593]

the best taco seasoning EVER! thank you! you rock!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Thank you Kathy! I do agree with you!

[@BulletproofVendetta]

This is priceless Robin! It is the best seasoning EVER! I will never buy those packets again. THANK YOU! You are AMAZING!

[@Stargazer69]

Did you actually make it and use it?

[@RockinRobinCooks]

You are welcome! Yes quality ingredients are important. Also make sure your spices are not out of date.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

You are welcome!

I'm glad I found your channel. You're my go to for Mexican recipes! Thank you.

[@jackfrost3573]

Hello, I just made a double batch of your taco seasoning. I will have to say it is excellent. I see no reason to ever buy those little packs of seasoning again. I filled up a used spice jar and I am set for while. Also...I made a batch of your refried beans and they are the best I have ever had!!! I am looking forward to my next adventure...keep going girl!!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

That is awesome! And remember, you are a good cook!

Being a college kid I can't make great food any more, but this seasoning sure does make all my low quality food way better!

[@Cherylelynn85]

Thanks so much for sharing Love that it does not have a lot of salt... :)

Thanks for your comments!

[@snowblo1]

Thanks so much for this! I've recently made homemade taco seasoning by adding brown sugar, and honestly didn't care for it too much. I will be making this one, which I know is going to be 10x's better. You have some quality spices that you're using there, too. I'm going to have to invest in some good spices. Sure it cost a bit more, but that's okay.

[@rachelb.7675]

This is great!! I love the touch of smoked paprika!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

R Bales Yes the smoked paprika is a nice addition! Glad you like it!

[@maricruzm9110]

thanks for the recipe. I didn't have paprika, onion or garlic powder but I substituted with Pappy's seasoning and it still worked out great. I didn't have to throw out the chicken that I put out to make chicken tacos with. It really saved me time from to going to the store since I didn't have any Taco packets. :)

Very nice robin, thanks!

[@snowblo1]

Thanks so much for your rapid response. It's funny, just after I had read your comment, I headed straight for the kitchen to check my cupboards, and just wouldn't you know it? My chilli powder WAS out-of-date, LOL! That is so funny, because I never, ever, check my expiration dates on spice bottles. This time I think I will go to a ethnic store, as you had mentioned in your refried beans video (loved that one too) to purchase my chilli powder. Thanks again! Have a great day!

Your tripod in later videos is much more stable :) I will have to try this, but with a different chile powder (green chile) as I'm not a big Cayenne fan. And some chipolte powder, and a dash of habenero to give it some kick.

Just type in "Rockin Robin Cooks" followed by the recipe you desire. If I have it, it will come up! Glad you are enjoying the taco seasoning.

[@Rainy78]

Hi Rockin Robin. Love your channel and recipes! Just a question about the chile powder. Is it spiced chile, or pure ground chile powder? Im having a hard time finding pure ground chile. Thanks! :-)

[@RockinRobinCooks]

When I buy chile powder, I just go to my local supermarket and buy the brand that is organic. The one I've been using is a spiced chile powder with other spices. You might want to try a Mexican grocery store.

where can I buy the lil spice /seasoning bottles? Thanx for posting this. Great video n I already have all these seasonings too.:) P.S. I have all these spices/seasonings all over the place on top of the back of my stove. If I can get some bottles like the one u have in this video, I can mix them together

[@RockinRobinCooks]

+Tracy Chester Hi Tracy, the spice bottle you see me using is actually an old one that had spices in it. I save old spice bottles for this purpose. Maybe you could use a little plastic or glass storage container until you have an empty spice bottle.

[@77777tracy]

thanx. I realized after I asked u about where did u get your spice bottle that it was one of the used ones. LOL. I was just tired lastnight.Great video by the way.:)

Hi Robin...How would I proportion and prepare ground beef taco meat with your recipe with how much seasoning,how much water,and how would you put it together? Getting ready to do some soon!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

+atgn70 I use 2 to 3 Tbsp. of my taco seasoning per pound of ground beef. After cooking the ground beef, drain the fat, add the seasoning with 1/2 cup water. Stir to mix in seasoning. Simmer until the water cooks down, maybe 3 minutes. Done. Use in tacos or anything else!

[@atgn70]

+Rockin Robin's Cooking Mexican Recipes Robin,say if I was going to slow cook some chicken breast in the crock pot with some of your taco seasoning...How much water/seasoning per pound? How long cook? Low or high? When I cook in the crock pot,I always seem to put too much liquid...Thanks for the previous response..

[@atgn70]

[@jmcclelland85]

I made taco seasoning tonight before I watched this video. I just wanted to see how Close I was. I got Chili powder ,cumin and Garlic Powder but forgot onion powder and Oregano . I added slat and pepper and oinch of Garam Masala . My tacos ending having a slightly Middle eastern flavor to them. i am guessing because of the Garam Masala! But my god where they good and spicy!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

[@mstud21]

I need to season some shredded beef for enchiladas. I already have a roast all shredded up. Can I make this seasoning and mix it with the beef and a little broth and come out with something that will taste good, or should I just use the shredded beef as is to fill the enchiladas?

[@RockinRobinCooks]

If your enchilada sauce is good, then you can use the beef as is and get away with it. I would probably do as you said, mix a little seasoning in with some broth and it will be wonderful. Did you make my enchilada sauce?

[@mstud21]

Rockin Robin's Cooking Mexican Recipes I will next time. We have a Trader Joe's nearby, so I tried their Enchilada sauce and you are right, it is pretty tasty!

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Yes it's pretty good! Have you tried mine? It's pretty easy to make. Here's a link to it: Enchilada Sauce Recipe - Homemade, Easy and Delicious by Rockin Robin

[@miasmith58]

Hi there. I tried this tonight and it was a lovely flavor but it was so spicy that i could not taste anything after the first few bites. How do I make this so it tastes exactly the same (Because its amazing!) but without any spice.

[@RockinRobinCooks]

***** Hi Mia, the only spice in this that could make it "hot" is the chile powder. You may want to try a different brand from what you are using. Spiciness will vary depending on how hot the chiles were when they made it. When I make this it is relatively mild, am I'm a whimp! You could also try using half as much.

[@mikeb792]

You mentioned you can control the heat aspect. Which spice is the heat element?

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Hi Michael, really only the chile powder is spicy. You can cut down on that spice a little, say a tsp less or so. Chile powders vary in there heat also. I say try it full strength and see how you like it. Have a great day!

[@msh.4890]

Is it ok of you dont have smoked paprika? Will it taste the same?

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Do you have regular paprika? If you don’t have either, then try leaving it out. You will miss out on some smokey flavor.

[@vivianmesser3307]

Is there a difference between taco seasoning and burrito seasoning?

[@RockinRobinCooks]

I don't think so. The taco seasoning goes in the meat so that would be the same for burrito seasoning.

[@shabirsuffery2012]

[@CharisWilliams]

[@keahwalker8434]

I have to keep looking at the video to get the right seasoning. Can you list them in the comments for me please.

[@alopez93ify]

can you use regular paprika? instead of smoked?

[@RockinRobinCooks]

Ana Lopez Yes you can. Of course it won't have the smoked flavor and that's okay if you don't have it.

[@kewl0420]

Why didn't you cover up the cumin name on the bottle with the label?

[@wolfman011000]

I will point out american chilli powder is not pure chilli powder but a blend of herbs and spices, i discovered this while making a different recipe elswwhere which dam near blew the doors off in spice, making it a biohazard. The basic homemade version i use is FYI 12 parts ground sweet paprika, 6 parts dried origano / mexican if possable, 6 parts ground cumin, 6 parts granulated garlic, 3 parts ancho chilli powder, 3 parts guajillo chilli powder, 3 parts granulated onion, 2 parts salt, 1 part ground white pepper / or black or blend of I like to use ancho and guajillo chilli power for flavour and spice, i buy the whole chilli's online and toast grind my own in a coffee grinder, this allows me to remove the seeds and membranes controlling the spice level. If you do not like spice omit one chilli powder. There are as many chili powder recipes as there are people eating it each different and personnel, I went from a basic now chilli powder recipe to the one listed above, it works for me and mine, it may not for you and yours, start easy on the chilli and work up. Thanks for the recipe and video, take care and god bless.
