Introduction

These 25 Minute Addictive Taco Crackers are a perfect snack for any occasion. Spiced with flavorful taco seasoning and a hint of garlic and chili, they are crispy, tasty, and impossible to resist. Plus, they’re quick and easy to make at home!

A stack of multiple layers of crispy, golden-brown jaggery and sesame brittle pieces sits piled high on a white round plate. Each brittle piece is thin and textured, studded with small white sesame seeds and with a shiny, sticky surface that glistens under the light. The edges of the brittle are uneven and slightly curled, adding to the crunchy look. The plate rests on a white marbled surface that softly reflects the light, enhancing the warm colors of the sweet treat. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/4 cup Vegetable Oil (Can use olive oil for added flavor; adjust quantity based on cracker preference.)
2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning (Adjust the amount for spiciness preference or use a homemade blend.)
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (Fresh minced garlic is an alternative; reduce quantity slightly.)
1 teaspoon Onion Powder (Dried onion flakes can be used for a similar taste.)
1 teaspoon Chili Flakes (Omit for mild flavor; increase for more spice.)
1 cup Crackers (Use gluten-free crackers for a gluten-free option.)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
Step 2: Whisk together the vegetable oil, taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili flakes in a medium bowl.
Step 3: Place the crackers in a large mixing bowl or resealable bag, then pour the seasoning mixture over them. Toss well to coat all crackers evenly.
Step 4: Spread the coated crackers in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake for 10 minutes, then gently stir or flip the crackers to ensure even cooking.
Step 6: Continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes until the crackers are golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try using olive oil instead of vegetable oil.
Adjust chili flakes to control the heat level or leave them out for a milder snack.
Try different types of crackers such as whole grain or gluten-free based on your preference.
Store leftover crackers in an airtight container to keep them crisp.

Storage

Store these taco crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To maintain their crunch, avoid exposing them to moisture. If they soften, reheat briefly in a low oven to crisp them up again.

How to Serve

A white plate holds a pile of thin, crispy golden brown crackers with a rough, bumpy texture accentuated by small white sesame seeds scattered throughout. The crackers are irregularly shaped with jagged edges, stacked unevenly to show multiple layers. The light catches the shiny, slightly oily surface, highlighting the crunchy texture. The background is a white marbled texture, softly blurred to keep the focus on the crackers. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
