Spicy Taco Oyster Crackers because hot and spicy and is a good thing!

These crackers are seasoning-rich with taco seasoning and butter. It’s a quick snack recipe, and chances are you won’t be able to stop snacking on them.

I know you’ve probably seen Ranch-flavored Oyster Crackers, but I wanted to change it up a bit. There are unlimited variations of flavors you can make for these baked oyster cracker snacks. You could do parmesan, nacho cheese, ranch or even buffalo flavored. I chose a taco flavoring and mixed in a taco seasoning pack.

I do ranch or italian dry salad dressing mix with olive oil. I have also used honey mustard. I warm the oil, stir in the dressing mix add the crackers. I have never baked them, but that sounds good I’m going to try this next time I make them. We have also used them for croutons on salad as well as just snacking.
Happy munching,

Oh, yum, Paula! I love making these with ranch (actually, I use Goldfish crackers) but I’ve never thought about doing taco seasoning! I bet they’re delicious!
