Notes

Serving: This recipe makes about 3 tablespoons of taco seasoning, which is enough to season 1 to 1.5 pounds of chicken. For a bolder flavor, feel free to adjust to taste.
Make More: You can easily double or triple this recipe to have extra seasoning ready for future taco nights!
Chili Powder: You can swap the chili powder for another in a 1:1 ratio. For a smoky, slightly fruity flavor, use ancho chili powder. Or, for a smoky, spicy flavor use chipotle chili powder.
