Taco Night is relatively new to our family! My kids are just now getting into tacos (finally, thank you!!) so I envision more Taco Nights in our future. It makes for an easy week-night meal, plus it’s fun and delicious for the whole family.
While we don’t claim to be perfectly healthy or strict, I do try to home-make things when I can, including taco seasoning. The store-bought versions typically have a ton of added junk so I’ve perfected homemade taco seasoning and I’m excited to share it with you today! This proved to be a ground pleaser with my kids and I bet it will be with your loved ones too.
Here is our recipe for Homemade Taco Seasoning:
Ingredients:
-
2 tablespoons chili powder
-
1 tablespoon ground cumin
-
2 teaspoons cornstarch
-
2 teaspoons kosher salt
-
1 1/2 teaspoons hot smoked paprika
-
1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon oregano
Instructions:
- Combine all seasonings and add to 1 lb. ground beef (ground turkey or chicken would also work!) for Taco Night!
- Pro-tip: you can multiply the recipe and store your homemade taco seasoning in a jar for quick and easy future use.
We also used Taco Night as a family cooking night to practice the kids’ knife skills! I have a great FREE tip sheet for Knife Skills here as well as other Kitchen Activites for Kids, and a general Kitchen Safety Tips sheet. You can grab all of them for free in my printable shop!
Is there anything more fun than cooking with kids? Perhaps cooking tacos with kids?! Use your homemade taco seasoning, add your favorite toppings, some festive napkins, and an easy but cute dinner is DONE!
