Homemade gluten-free taco seasoning is so easy to make using basic pantry ingredients.
Seasoning mixes were one of those things that surprised me when I first went gluten-free. I had no idea so many of them contained wheat. There are a few out there that are gluten-free, but I soon realized making my own at home was much safer for my family. And really they are easy and inexpensive to make at home, so why not make homemade.
Today I am sharing my gluten-free taco seasoning recipe. This is the same basic recipe for taco seasoning that I shared on my site a few years ago, but this is the large batch version instead of the single batch version.
I like to make this in large batches and keep it in a jar in my cupboard. We eat a lot of Mexican type foods since going gluten-free, so taco seasoning is always a good thing to have on hand.

Your recipe is missing an ingredient, says 2 /12 tsp but not of what…interesting mix. I have been making my own for a while but never put in either cornstarch or sugar…
Sorry about that. I just fixed it. It should have been salt. I have been trying for a long time to get close to the packages you buy. Most of them have a little sugar and I found the sugar makes it closer what I was trying to copy. The same goes with the cornstarch. Most of them have some sort of thickening ingredient, so I added to cornstarch to copy that. Neither are necessary, but I found it makes it closer to what we liked in the store versions.
This recipe looks great. Can’t wait to try it .
