We do not like to purchase pre-made spice packs because of the extra, unnecessary ingredients so we make our own! We have been using this one for years and wanted to share. You probably already have all of these spices so save your money (and improve your health) and make your own seasoning!
This mix is great mixed in with meat or try it in our clean eating taco soup! Yummy!

Man, I love this mixture and use it on everything – grilled meat, ground chicken, beef, turkey…so good without all the MSG and other junk you get in the packaged stuff. I also love how you can make a bulk amount by expanding the recipe and have it handy at all times.

I can’t wait to make this! Thanks for posting the recipe!
LOVE the taco seasoning! It is waaaayyyyy better tasting than any package seasoning. We are excited to try the Kickin’ Chicken seasoning tomorrow 🙂
Delicious recipe! Love love love it. Thanks for sharing!
Years ago I figured out what to use by reading the back of the spice packet so I always keep the individual spices. Problem is I never knew the ratios so I seasoned to taste. (Cumin is the key) Thanks for posting this!
Thank YOU, THANK YOU, thank you!!! I love this site! I am new here also and love the blogs, recipes. This will help hubby and I eat clean. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your recipes. I am SO excited! Thank you! Jan
This is so easy!! I can’t believe I haven’t starting doing this already. The stuff in the packets is full of junk. Thank you for this recipe!!
Yes! I need this- we’ve tried to do this at home but have never got in right. Can’t wait to try this week 🙂
Ps. I’m a new reader but loving your blog so far!
I use this mix of spices to spice up sliced chicken breast and peppers and onions for fresh fajitas!

OMG! Thanks for posting this! I usually season my own turkey instead of buying the packets and it’s pretty good but I hadn’t thought about oregano or onion powder! I will try this 🙂
