How To Make Taco Popcorn

Print

Make movie nights extra special by making this taco popcorn. The spicy and slightly garlicky taste of the taco seasoning definitely improves the taste.

Preparation: 1 minute
Cooking: 5 minutes
Total: 6 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 1tbspcoconut oil
  • ½cuppopcorn kernels
  • 2tbsptaco seasoning,homemade or store-bought
  • 1tspsalt,to taste
  • melted butter for drizzling,optional

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over high heat until melted. Add popcorn kernels, and give the pan a shake so that they level out. Cover with a lid and wait until kernels have popped.

  2. Once the popcorn is popped, pour it out into a serving bowl. Immediately sprinkle with taco seasoning and salt, and toss to combine. Season to taste with additional seasoning or salt if desired.

Recipe Notes

  • A healthier and vegan alternative is also to toss the popcorn with nutritional yeast — my favorite.
  • A good rule of thumb is to wait until there are at least 3 seconds between pops, so as not to burn the popcorn. Give the pan a shake every 15 seconds or so, in order to let the kernels fall to the bottom and the popped popcorn rise to the top, which also helps prevent burning.
