I usually don't buy spice mixes mostly because I like to control my flavors. Typically taco seasonings are a little too much for me - I feel like I taste the taco seasoning more than the meat. This is my mix that I have made in large batches and then use as much as I need.
Taco Seasoning
3 Tbsp Cumin
2 Tbsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Cayenne
1 Tbsp Salt
2 Tbsp Pepper
Mix and store in an air-tight container.
Tips:
I use about 3-4 Tbsp of this mix on each pound of meat. Adjust for your tastes.

Can I just say that I have NOT made tacos because I didn't have taco seasoning, not realizing that I did in my cupboard. What a good way to control the salt too. Thanks! Joni
OK this is genius. Seriously. I want to go make large batches of my spice concoctions now. Will try this one out. My taco seasoning is a random shaking of spices into the mixture.
No fair, you are making me hungry!! lol This sounds delicious, I will have to bookmark and try it ;)
I love using my homemade taco seasoning. it is so much more delicate and doesn't over power the taco itself.
this sounds like a great combo of flavors. I think I'll try it next time I make my favorite lentil tacos!
It's so simple isn't it? My husband makes our taco seasoning for us and it's awesome! I think you use the same ingredients that we do.
I love it. I will never buy the grocery store stuff again...saves on the sodium intake too!
