Our Favorite Seasonings for Every Flavor of Taco
Versatile, easy to make, and always delicious, tacos are the perfect weeknight meal. From traditional Mexican, to flavorful fish, and even Asian fusion, we have just the right seasoning for every taco combination you might be craving!
Traditional Mexican
Taco Seasoning
We created our Taco Seasoning to capture the classic Mexican flavors found in a traditional taco. Chili peppers, cumin, and oregano combine with onion, garlic, salt, and pepper for the perfect Mexican blend. This seasoning is also incredibly easy to use. Simply add 2 to 3 tablespoons of seasoning per pound of cooked/drained meat along with 2/3 cup of water. Turn heat to medium, and simmer until most water is gone. Top with cheese, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, chopped onion, etc., and viola! You have dinner!
Fajita Seasoning
For a more sweet and smoky flavor, give our Fajita Seasoning a try! Still filled with Mexican flavor, but with the addition of Applewood Smoked Salt and Turbinado Sugar, this blend is sure to treat your tastebuds! Use just the same as our Taco Seasoning.
Or try our favorite option for Mexican Tacos: 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning and 1 tbsp Fajita Seasoning!
Our Green Chili Seasoning balances bold green chili perfectly with classic Mexican flavors for a blend that is as amazing on beef, pork or chicken tacos. Slightly spicier, this blend is sure to bring the added “kick” your taco night needs!
Chicken Tacos
Chicken is a great protein for tacos, especially since it inexpensive and lower in calories. Chicken also lends itself to a variety of flavors, making it easy to customize to just the flavor you are craving.
Adobo Seasoning
The lighter “Mexican” flavors found in our Adobo Seasoning make it a wonderful option for chicken and black bean tacos. Sprinkle 1-2 tbsp of Adobo Seasoning over 1 lb. of cooked shredded chicken and 2/3 cup water. Simmer until most of the water is gone. Top with chopped red onion, avocado and cilantro.
Chile Lime Seasoning
Bring authentic South American flavor to tacos with our Chile Lime Seasoning! Spicy citrus combined with subtle earthy tones make this blend a great addition to shredded chicken, as well as shredded beef and pork. Even veggies and shrimp really, it’s just a good seasoning!
Beef Tacos
Whether ground or shredded, beef is definitely the go-to protein when it comes to tacos. If your taco routine needs a bit of a shake-up, try these seasonings!
Chimichurri Seasoning
For a flavor reminiscent of barbacoa, give our Chimichurri Seasoning a try! Smoky, with the sweetness of bell pepper and a touch of herb flavor, this seasoning combines beautifully with the richness of beef. Use just the same as our Taco Seasoning by adding to cooked beef and water and simmering. For an even more authentic flavor, add in some fresh or canned green chiles while simmering.
Greek Seasoning
A departure from the “traditional” taco, our Greek Seasoning is perfect for mixing things up! Fresh herbs and citrus contrast with spicy cinnamon and nutmeg for authentic Greek flavor. Add 1-2 tbsp of seasoning to 1 lb. cooked/drained ground beef along with 2/3 cup water. Simmer until most of the water is gone. Top your tacos with chopped tomato and cucumber, feta cheese and Tzatziki sauce.
Easy Tzatziki Sauce: Combine 1 cup plain greek yogurt and 1/4 cup finely chopped cucumber. Add in 1 tsp fresh minced garlic, squeeze of lime juice and 1/2-1 tsp dill weed.
Create the ultimate “fusion” taco with our Korean BBQ Blend! Sweet and spicy, this seasoning brings together the authentic Korean flavor of guchugaru chilies with the sweetness of brown sugar and tomato powder and the tanginess of soy sauce. Use with ground beef, shredded beef brisket or roast or even rib meat. Top with shredded carrot and quick-pickled cucumbers for crunch!
Pork Tacos
Tropical Caribbean flavors are our favorites when it comes to pork tacos. These spicy and citrus filled seasonings are a perfect match for pork’s rich flavor.
Jamaican Jerk
Full of Caribbean flavor, our Jamaican Jerk combines the warm, cloying tastes of cinnamon and allspice, with the spiciness of chipotle and cayenne pepper. If you are craving an even spicier flavor, check out our Jamaican Jerk (Hot). (Be warned, its hot.)
Easy Pork and Poblano Tacos: Combine cooked shredded pork with poblano peppers (cut into strips) and pineapple chunks. Add in 1/2 cup pineapple juice and 1 1/2 tbsp Jamaican Jerk. Simmer until most of the liquid is gone. Pop into warmed corn tortillas. Yum!
Caribbean Spice
Just one taste of our Caribbean Spice will have you dreaming of sandy beaches and sunny skies! Bright citrus flavor, combine with classic Caribbean spices like nutmeg and clove, and just the right amount of heat, make this blend one of our absolute favorites. Our Caribbean Spice can be substituted for the Jamaican Jerk in the recipe above. This is also a wonderful blend for shrimp or white fish tacos.
Pronounced “mo-ho,” in Spanish, this Cuban-style Mojo Seasoning combines bright citrus flavors with garlic, cumin and cilantro, all of which pair perfectly with the savory flavors of pork. Add to shredded pork shoulder or ground pork and top with a mango or pineapple salsa!
Fish and Shrimp Tacos
Fish and shrimp are quickly becoming our favorite proteins for tacos. We love these foods because they cook up quickly and, like chicken, can be flavored with a variety of different seasonings.
Fisherman’s Blend
An assemblage of citrus and herb flavors, combined with basics like garlic and black pepper, make for a truly unique seasoning that is great on white fish like tilapia and halibut. If you love traditional fish tacos, this blend is the one for you! Top with your favorite coleslaw for just the right amount of crunch!
Creole Seasoning
Creole Seasoning originated in the Louisiana bayou and is often referred to as Cajun seasoning. Our Creole Seasoning is a blend of black, red and white pepper, along with additional herbs and spices. This blend is a great seasoning for adding a bit of “zing” to tilapia and shrimp tacos. For even more flavor, top your taco with our Southwest Coleslaw.

Swap out the tortilla for a lettuce wrap for a lower-calorie option.
