3-Ingredient Addictive Taco Crackers Snack Recipe
Ingredients
1 bag (about 14 oz.) of oyster crackers
½ cup canola oil
½ cup taco seasoning (regular or mild)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Trust me, a properly hot oven is the secret to getting that addictive crunch!
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the oil and taco seasoning together. As you stir, think about all the warmth you’re infusing into these little crackers.
Add the oyster crackers and gently stir until they’re all beautifully coated. Remember—every cracker deserves a little love!
Spread the coated crackers evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Don’t crowd them—give them room to breathe and bake!
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until they look dry and toasted. Your kitchen will start to smell heavenly right about now.
Cool completely before storing (if you can resist eating half the tray!).
Tips 3-Ingredient Addictive Taco Crackers Snack
Even coating matters! Take your time stirring so every cracker gets its fair share of flavor.
Don’t rush the bake. Wet crackers = soggy snack = sad Miranda.
Storage matters. Airtight containers will keep your crackers crispy for up to two weeks (if they last that long).
And my secret trick? Sometimes I sprinkle a tiny bit of extra taco seasoning after baking for an extra punch!
Serving Suggestions
I love piling these 3-Ingredient Addictive Taco Crackers Snack into a big, cheerful bowl right in the middle of the coffee table—no plates, no fuss. It reminds me of Sunday afternoons when my grandmother would just toss fresh bread rolls on the table and let us tear in, laughing and reaching across one another.
They also make a fantastic crunchy topping for soups, salads, or even a cheeky late-night snack (trust me on that one).
