4.8 from 16 reviews

A quick and addictive snack featuring crispy crackers coated with flavorful taco seasoning and a blend of spices. Perfect for parties, movie nights, or any time you crave a zesty, crunchy bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Crackers

  • 1 bag (10 oz) crispy crackers (saltines or Ritz)

Seasoning Mix

  • 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)

Other

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). This low temperature allows the crackers to absorb the seasoning and become perfectly crispy without burning.
  2. Mix Seasonings and Oil: In a large mixing bowl, combine the taco seasoning packet, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili flakes if using. Pour in the vegetable oil and stir thoroughly to create a smooth, flavorful coating mixture.
  3. Add Crackers: Add the entire bag of crackers to the bowl with the seasoning mixture. Gently toss with a spatula or wooden spoon until every cracker is evenly coated with the seasoned oil.
  4. Bake the Crackers: Spread the coated crackers out on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, stirring once halfway through to help all crackers crisp evenly.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, transfer them to a serving bowl or airtight container. Enjoy your addictive taco crackers snack immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • For extra heat, increase chili flakes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Use vegetable oil as it best absorbs and distributes seasonings evenly.
  • Ensure crackers are spread out evenly during baking to prevent sogginess.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep crackers crispy for up to a week.
  • Experiment with different types of crackers like whole wheat or gluten-free for dietary needs.
