That's it! Only five ingredients but it will be such a flavorful taco meat! You definitely won't miss the packaged seasoning that has preservatives and questionable ingredients.

The cumin is definitely the main ingredient here. If you'd like to take it up a notch, learn how to make roasted cumin powder to really make this seasoning from scratch!

Instructions

To make this seasoning, all you have to do is place everything in a container or bowl, and mix together.

A small bowl with all the spices inside, a hand is holding a wooden spoon mixing them together.

That's it! Now you have a taco seasoning that you can use your entire round of Whole30!

Variations

Garlicky-make this extra garlicky by adding in more garlic powder! You can use flakes as well.
Spicy-add more chipotle powder if you want it hotter.

Storage

If you won't be using this right away, store this in an airtight container in a cool, dark area.

You can use an old, empty spice container for convenience.

However, I typically just make one batch and put it right in the ground meat as it cooks!
