These can add to the carb count and, therefore, often don’t fit well into a keto diet. Making your own homemade taco seasoning is quick and easy. This way, you will know exactly what you are getting, and it will save you money as well!
What is the difference between herbs and spices?
I love learning new things about foods, ingredients, and about all things related to cooking and baking. So, here’s a quick tidbit for our recipe today. Both herbs and spices come from plants. What makes them different is which part of the plant they come from. Herbs come from the leafy green part of a plant. Some examples of herbs are basil, cilantro, oregano, and rosemary. Spices come from the non-leafy parts of a plant such as from the bark, berries, flowers, roots, or seeds. Some examples of spices are cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and pepper.
What are some ways to use homemade taco seasoning?
This seasoning can be used for any recipe you’d like to spice up a bit. You can use it to season your beef, chicken, pork, and seafood. You can also add it to your favorite casseroles, soups, and even roast vegetables.
Can this be made into a big batch of taco seasoning?
Absolutely. This recipe can easily be made into a big batch so that you can always have some on hand to cook with. Simply store your extra seasoning in a covered container and in a dry place. It will stay good for up to 6 months. This big batch recipe will make approximately 2 cups.
