Gluten-Free Taco Seasoning

This gluten-free taco seasoning mixture makes a scant ½ cup (7 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons) of spice blend. This will give you about 4 servings assuming that you are using 1 ounce (about 2 tablespoons) of spice mixture per recipe, which is the amount you’ll find in a store-bought packet of taco seasoning.
Always double check that your spices are gluten-free in case there are any allergen statements or warnings about cross contact on manufacturing lines or equipment that are shared with wheat or other gluten-containing grains. As long as you use gluten-free spices, your taco seasoning will be gluten-free!
The red pepper flakes are optional. If you don’t like a little kick to your taco seasoning, you can omit it. I sometimes do this so I have a versatile blend and can add some red pepper flakes while I’m cooking depending on what I’m making and who I am serving.
Instead of red pepper flakes, you can also add ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper for some heat.
I like to store my spice blends in a small spice jar. Don’t forget to label it and add the date so that you don’t forget about it in your cupboard.
