Cholula Taco Seasoning Mix 1 oz Pack of 12 — Original Medium Heat, Arbol & Piquin Flavor

Cholula Original Taco Seasoning Mix is a one-ounce, medium-heat taco spice blend that adds the brand’s signature balanced chili and spice flavor to tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, and more.

Built from the same flavor profile that made Cholula hot sauce a pantry staple, this taco seasoning pairs arbol and piquin peppers with paprika, oregano and carefully chosen spices to deliver a bright, authentic taste. Each 1 oz packet is portioned for convenience so you can make meat or vegetarian taco fillings in about 15 minutes, and the pack of 12 keeps you stocked for multiple meals or small gatherings.

What does this seasoning taste like and how spicy is it?

Cholula Original Taco Seasoning leans into medium heat with a rounded, pepper-forward taste that highlights arbol and piquin peppers without overpowering other ingredients. Paprika and oregano add savory warmth and subtle herbal notes so flavors remain balanced in each bite.

• Medium heat level that complements proteins and vegetables
• Arbol and piquin peppers for authentic Mexican pepper character
• Paprika and oregano for smoky and herbal depth

How do I use one 1 oz packet — will it season a full batch of tacos?

Each 1 oz packet is sized to season about 1 to 1.5 pounds of ground meat or a comparable volume of shredded chicken, fish, or vegetables. Preparation is quick: brown your protein, drain if needed, stir in the seasoning with a splash of water, and simmer briefly until evenly coated.

• Season about 1–1.5 lb ground beef, turkey, or shredded chicken
• Mix with 2–4 tablespoons water for a saucy, clingy filling
• Ready in roughly 10–15 minutes for fast weeknight meals

Can I use this mix for other dishes besides tacos?

Yes—this blend is versatile and works well in anything that benefits from smoky-pepper spice. Try it to season queso, taco dips, soups, chilis, burrito bowls, roasted vegetables, or to spice up grilled seafood for street-style tacos.

• Stir into queso or taco dip for consistent flavor
• Add to soups and chilis for an instant flavor boost
• Use as a rub for shrimp, fish, chicken, or steak

How should I store the unopened packets and opened portions?

Unopened sealed packets store well at room temperature in a cool, dry pantry for months, preserving peak flavor until use. If you transfer seasoning to a container after opening, keep it in an airtight jar away from heat and light to maintain aroma and potency.

• Store unopened packets in a dry pantry away from sunlight
• Use airtight containers for leftover seasoning to protect freshness
• Ground spices are best used within months for strongest flavor
