I just came from the store and forgot the taco seasoning! What spices are in it? I have to make my own, as I have already promised tacos for dinner!

This makes about 2/3 a cup:
1/4 cup instant minced onion
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons oregano, crushed
I also like to put in a teaspoon of chipotle pepper in it as well. This adds some smoky heat. Not always the best for kids.

LOL!
Some of the answers on here are hilarious!
I personally think that, unless you have all of the many ingredients to make taco seasoning, then it would be easier (and much cheaper) just to go to the store and buy a package of seasoning :)
Make life easy!

I always make my own so I can tinker with it and make a larger quantity to store in a tupperware dish. This is the basic one.
6 teaspoons chili powder
5 teaspoons paprika
4 1/2 teaspoons cumin
3 teaspoons onion powder
2 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Chili powder and cumin. Try looking up a recipe for it online. (The food network site is good for recipes.) I know my sister makes hers from scratch but I don't have her recipe.
