I am back with something you might be interested in. A family friendly Mexican spice mix! Mexican food is usually pretty fiery and most kids are not really keen on spicy food (at least mine aren’t…’Help, HOT, my mouth is on fire!’). But I believe that tacos need good seasoning. So it was time I came up with a family friendly taco seasoning that gives your food a bit of spice, lots of flavor and happy kids! And here it is!

Taco seasoning for the whole family ingredients

How to make this family friendly Mexican spice mix?

It is actually super easy. All you really have to do is mix these spices, put them in a jar, shake well and you are ready for Taco Tuesday!

I usually go ahead and fill up a whole jar with this family friendly Mexican spice mix so it will last a while.

Well seasoned tacos is what we love and this spice mix will give you just that. I really hope everyone in your family will like this as much as we do. It is

subtly spicy – full of flavor – a bit smoky – versatile – super easy to make – super delicious

I use this to marinate chicken, steak and fish for our Taco Tuesday, to sauté veggies and I even add some to my salsa. Use this for your (breakfast) burritos, tacos, salsas and add some to your tortilla soup. If family friendly Mexican food is your thing check out these recipes we enjoy a lot: whole wheat tortillas, tropical guacamole, roasted tomato salsa, beans from scratch and homemade tortilla chips.
