Taco Bell Original Taco Seasoning Mix, 1 oz Packet

I can honestly say this is the only taco seasoning my family will eat — and we’ve tried plenty over the years! The flavor is perfectly balanced: not too spicy, not too mild, with just the right blend of savory and smoky notes that make every bite taste like it came straight from a Taco Bell kitchen. It’s incredibly easy to use — just mix it in with your cooked meat, and within minutes, the whole house smells amazing. My kids love it, my spouse loves it, and I love that it’s consistent every single time. No need to tweak or add extra spices — it’s perfect as is. If you want tacos that everyone will devour without complaint, this seasoning is a must-have in your pantry. We buy it in a lot so we never run out! 🌮❤️

It's very similar to the taco bell flavors. It helps to put more water than what is called for. Plus, I like to add a little extra garlic powder and a touch of lawyer's season salt while the hamburger is cooking, than I use a paper towel to remove excess drippings ( I use a lean blend of ground beef, no less than 85/15). Plus, I brown the beef to get some brown bits in the pan. Then I add the water and scrape up these brown bits cus that's flavor! Now add water and season packet and simmer till you have the desired consistency, if you want dry cook till all liquid is evaporated, if you wanted saucey don't let all the liquid evaporate.

So far this is the best taco seasoning I've tried. I make taco's and nacho's regularly and my friends and family love it. I don't follow the instructions about adding water. It gave the taco meat a weird taste. I worked at a fast food taco place when I was a teen and they never put water in the meat. It tastes so much better, the seasoning cooks in to meat.

For me, taco, tuesday is taco bell.Tuesday, I like to make my own crunch wraps chilupas and so on and as far as the meat seasoning goes, this is it without it.It's not taco bell, unless you actually go to taco.Bell, and that's way too expensive l o l

This taco seasoning is soooooo dang good, that me %26 my family......., WILL NEVER EVER BUY ANY OTHER KIND OF TACO SEASONING, EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!! (only taco bell brand!!!!)

My teen boys love this TacoBell seasoning! It’s all I’m allowed to buy now! It’s inexpensive , I bought all the higher price ones and they only want TacoBell!!

It’s pretty good, but if you want like actual Taco Bell similar I’d recommend swatching a video on YouTube for a copycat recipe since those add like extra liquid or tomato paste etc Turns out way better then regular package instructions %26 the meat is tender soft like Taco Bell not like hard and dry like it can turn out if you follow the package instructions for this or even most other brands similar

i prefer this taco seasoning over many others it doesnt taste like tacobell but it does have a good taste as long as you follow instructions try not to over cook it cause the seasoning will stick to the pan and defeat the purpose of seasoning your ground taco meat.

This seasoning does not taste like Taco Bell. I know that sounds like a complaint, but hear me out: it's actually a decent taco seasoning on its own merits. The problem is it carries the Taco Bell name, which sets a very specific expectation in your brain, and your brain will not let it go. People always tell me things like "TACO BELL ISNT MEXICAN!" - well, yeah. It's Taco Bell. It's literally its own genre of food. The issue, I think, is fundamental. What makes a Taco Bell taco taste like a Taco Bell taco is not just the seasoning packet. It's the industrial-scale mystery meat that has been slowly melding with its seasoning in a warming bin for an unknowable amount of time. That soft, uniform, almost porridge-like texture is load-bearing flavor. When you make this at home with fresh ground beef that you cooked yourself like some kind of responsible adult, the whole illusion falls apart. Three stars because it is a functional taco seasoning. You will end up with seasoned taco meat. Your family will eat it and not complain. But if you close your eyes and expect a Taco Bell taco, you will open them feeling vaguely cheated. My recommendation: use a different seasoning brand so your expectations aren't sabotaged from the start, or just go to Taco Bell. Both options will make you happier than this one did me.

My husband and I have tried other brands of taco seasoning and the flavoring has never just been quite right. so we always end up going back to Taco Bell brand because the flavoring is just right when it comes to taco seasoning. I just have an issue with paying The price that everybody's asking for these little bitty things.
