Notes
When possible, use fresh, quality spices for optimal flavor.
Store leftover chicken taco seasoning in a mason jar or an airtight container in the pantry for up to a year.
You can season and freeze raw chicken in meal-sized portions so it's ready to go when you need a last-minute dinner.
Mix seasoning with 4 tablespoon olive oil and the juice of one lime to create a quick, flavorful marinade.
You can grind the spices with a
mortar and pestle
, a
coffee grinder
, or a
small food processor
if you want your seasoning to have a finer grain.
