Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 4–6 tablespoons (60–90ml) ice water
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sesame seeds, crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (240g) of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning. Add 1/2 cup (115g) of cold, unsalted butter, cut into cubes, and use your fingers or a pastry blender to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Slowly drizzle in 4–6 tablespoons (60–90ml) of ice water, stirring gently after each addition, until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overwork it.
  3. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes to firm up the butter.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch (3mm) thickness.
  5. Use a pastry cutter or knife to slice the dough into 1-inch squares or rectangles. Transfer them to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Sprinkle the crackers with additional taco seasoning, shredded cheese, sesame seeds, or crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
  7. Bake the crackers for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even cooking.
  8. Transfer the crackers to a cooling rack and let them cool completely before serving. They’ll crisp up even more as they cool.

Notes

Ensure the butter is cold for a flaky texture. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even cooking. Let crackers cool completely before storing to maintain crispness.
