Thanks so much for posting this! I found you via Google when I was desperate to make some chicken tacos in the crock pot with some leftover homemade salsa and had no taco seasoning. What resulted was the easiest meal I have ever made, and my husband raves about it on and on and on. Thanks for helping me create a new staple for my home for years to come!

I linked to your recipe for taco seasoning on this post:

LOVE IT! Had all the ingredients on hand and now this is the only recipe I will use! The family loves it (although I have to cut the pepper down for the kids ) and it saves me from buying the MSG riddled packets. Thanks!

I can’t use those seasoning packets at all because of MSG-induced migraines, so this was perfect to satisfy my homemade beef taco craving. So good! Thank you for sharing it!

This taco seasoning recipe is SPOT ON! I just made it and had to restain myself from eating the seasoned ground beef straight out of the skillet, lol. I will most defiitely be quintupling this recipe to keep handy in my pantry.

I’m going to try the taco spice recipe today. I have a super quick and easy refried bean recipe that I would like to contribute.

I’m going to try the taco spice recipe today. Here is my super quick and easy refried bean recipe that I’ve used for years, much better than canned refried beans.
Frijoles Refritos
Melt 6 tbsp. butter or oleo in pan.
Add 2 16-cans drained pinto beans and mash well. Save juice! (I use Bush’s beans)
Add: 1 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. chili powder, 1/8 tsp. ground cumin, and juice as needed (to desired consistancy). Cook over low heat, stirring often until thick and bubbling. 6 servings. Family size: 1 stick butter, 3 cans beans, 1/4 tsp. of chili powder and cumin.
You might want to adjust salt to your needs.

So this is awesome! Better than any of the packaged stuff! I use it on ground chicken for a little healthier taco and it is excellent.

I felt like I should post, since I’ve been using this recipe for about two years now! I am, like many, allergic to MSG (migraines!) and I was SO excited when I found this… It’s so much better than any mix I’ve ever used. I finally wrote it down and too a screen shot “just in case”… I got tired of holding my breath every time I pull up the bookmarked website in hopes that it’s still here! Thanks so much for posting… and leaving it up!

I am so happy to have this recipe!
Like you I love Mexican foods and those packages of taco seasoning are just too expensive. Thank you for this!
You’re going to save me a fortune! LOL

p.s. You know, this would make a great gift done up in like half pint canning jars wouldn’t it?
