For most households, the 24 oz container lasts a long time with frequent taco nights and weekly use, especially when stored with the resealable lid closed.

The resealable lid is designed to keep the seasoning fresh and prevent clumping between uses, even when stored in a pantry for extended periods.
What is the difference between a taco seasoning mix and a fajita seasoning mix?
Taco seasoning mixes are typically more savory and smoky, designed to flavor ground or shredded meats for tacos, while fajita seasoning mixes often include more citrus and a higher proportion of peppers and onions for stir-fried strips of meat and vegetables.
