We’re talking easy here. Like in measure, mix, DONE! This is our go-to Taco Seasoning that we’ve been using for years and years.
Sorry, there’s no beer here as an ingredient. I put this little recipe here to reference from other recipes that are found…and will be found…on BeerAndIron.com.
Chili and Taco Seasonings – What’s the difference?
Have you ever been dog-tired after a long day and ready for bed? And, as soon as your head hits that pillow, your brain goes, “So, what should we talk about? Health, Money, or the differences between Taco Seasoning and Chili Seasoning?”
The primary difference between the two is that chili seasoning will have a higher concentration of chili powder and paprika (maybe…if you want). Taco seasoning will most likely have a higher amount of cumin (again…your preference). When you feel like chili and find yourself two-beers into the evening and already in your skivvies then whip up that chili with the Taco seasoning you already have mixed up; they ain’t gonna know and they ain’t gonna care because you’re the one cooking tonight!
All you have to do here to be awesome is to mix these ingredients together.
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Store the left-overs in an air-tight container. You can double, triple, or even sextuple this mixture for future use if you enjoy recipes with the South-of-the-Border piquancy (nope, I couldn’t use that word in a sentence either).
Sextuple…yes…I liked saying the 6x word very loudly in my 8-grade math class to show my mathematical inclination and potential numerical brilliance…no other motivations (lounge-in-cheek).
