Taco Recipes

Take your tacos up a notch with the power of seasoning. With fresh, vibrant flavours and a balance of spices, this taco seasoning is one of the best around.

To make the perfect taco seasoning: In a small bowl, mix chilli powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, ground coriander, cayenne pepper, sea salt and black pepper. Hey presto! That’s really all there is to it.

Use about two tablespoons of the taco seasoning mix per 500g of meat or vegetables.

HelloFresh’s Recipe Development Manager, Mimi Morley, suggests adjusting the amount of cayenne pepper to control the heat level. If you like your tacos spicy, simply add extra cayenne pepper! If you're not using your seasoning straight away, you can transfer it to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place for up to six weeks.
