Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil: Helps the seasoning stick and gives the crackers a perfect crispy texture.

Instructions

Let’s make these addictive bites!

Preheat the Oven:

Set your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Mix the Crackers:

In a large bowl, combine the crackers with the oil. Toss gently until the crackers are well coated.

Add the Taco Seasoning:

Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the oiled crackers. Toss again to coat every little cracker in that delicious taco goodness.

Spread and Bake:

Spread the crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until crispy and fragrant.

Cool and Store:

Let the crackers cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. If you can resist eating them all first, that is!
