"Taco seasoning has some unexpected applications, including using the flavorful ingredient as steak rub, to amp up canned beans, and to turn up the heat in a plate of pasta. The ready-to-use seasoning is also ideal to sprinkle onto popcorn, turning movie night into a spicier and more flavorful occasion. When combined with your favorite popcorn mix-ins - pretzel pieces, toasted nuts, crackers, and the like - bowls of this taco-seasoned snack will go fast."
"If you don't have a store-bought package of taco seasoning at the ready, you can make your own version with smoked paprika, salt, cumin, dried oregano, and garlic and onion powders. You can even add ancho chili powder, chipotle powder, or dried sriracha on top for more of an earthy kick in your popcorn. A dash of cinnamon powder can bring a touch of sweetness to round out your spicy mix, and if you want to step on the pedal of flavor, add cheese powder to your taco-seasoned popcorn."
Taco seasoning can be used to flavor popcorn by dusting popped kernels, with butter, ghee, or oil helping the spice adhere. Mix-ins like pretzel pieces, toasted nuts, and crackers amplify texture and flavor. A homemade taco seasoning can include smoked paprika, salt, cumin, dried oregano, garlic and onion powders, with optional ancho or chipotle powder, dried sriracha, cinnamon, or cheese powder for variation. The taco-flavored popcorn can top chili and soup, replace croutons in salads, or serve as a nacho-style base topped with beans, cheese, and peppers. Seasonings can be adjusted incrementally to taste.
