Easy DIY Taco Seasoning

Tacos are a fabulous and fast weeknight meal. Packed with customizable flavors and toppings, tacos are a great way to enjoy a low-key, hands-on type of meal. While tacos are totally simple to pull together, you're often missing one ingredient. You have the ground meat, but you're missing the tortillas. You have the salsa, but you're missing the sour cream. And while some of these ingredients are completely fine to omit, one thing you cannot skimp on is the spices. Spices are what transform a plain tortilla wrap and beef into a real taco. If you don't have that pre-packaged seasoning on hand, don't fret, you can make your own at home. And the best part about doing a DIY season base is you can adjust the heat index as needed. Here are three seasoning mixes for you to try on your tacos:
