An opened bottle of dry taco seasoning typically stays fresh for one to two years when stored properly in a cool dry place, though flavor intensity will gradually decrease over time.
What is the difference between taco seasoning and fajita seasoning?
Taco seasoning is typically bolder and more chili-forward, while fajita seasoning is often lighter with more cumin, garlic, and citrus notes, though Ortega Taco Seasoning Mix works well for both applications.
