Pioneer Woman Taco Seasoning Recipe
Taco night is always better with a seasoning mix that actually tastes fresh!Making your own blend means skipping preservatives and getting the right balance of smoky, spicy, and earthy notes.I always toast the cumin and chili powder in a dry pan for a few seconds before mixing—it deepens their aroma and makes a noticeable difference.A touch of smoked paprika gives the seasoning a richer, more complex taste without adding heat.If I need a little extra punch, I’ll swap regular salt for garlic salt to add a bit more savory depth.I like to keep a big jar on hand because once people try it, they always ask for the recipe!
