Healthy taco seasoning is the perfect mix of spices that are tossed together for a Tex-Mex spice blend. It’s loaded with flavor and takes just minutes to make.
This easy taco seasoning recipe is quick to whip up using spices you probably already have in your pantry. It’s healthier and more economical than the packaged taco seasoning mixes too!
In addition to tacos, homemade taco seasoning blend tastes great sprinkled on veggies or as a rub for steak or chicken and more.
Why This Recipe Works
- It’s lower in sodium than packaged taco seasoning.
- It’s made with clean ingredients without fillers such as corn starch.

Serving Suggestions
Healthy taco seasoning tastes great on just about everything. Here are a few ways that we use it:
- ground beef, turkey or shredded chicken
- rub it onto boneless chicken breasts or pork chops before grilling
- sprinkle it on top of roasted or grilled veggies
- add it to a salad
- sprinkle it into scrambled eggs.
How to Store It
I like to make up a big batch of homemade taco seasoning and store it in an airtight container (a mason jar works well for this) and when it’s time to use it, it’s ready to go.
Taco spice blend will last for 6 to 8 months in your pantry.
