Can you use taco seasoning without cooking?

[JayAr]

Hey, curious if anyone's tried sprinkling taco seasoning on dishes without actually cooking it first. I'm thinking about tossing some on popcorn or maybe into a salad for an extra kick. Has anyone experimented with this? Does flavor get lost or does it pack the same punch?

Yes! I have tried using without cooking it first. It's awesome! Adds a nice kick to stuff like popcorn or salads. You won't experience the same rich flavor when it's not cooked, but it still remains delicious.

Absolutely! My experience is that I used it in sour cream or yogurt for a quick dip

I've tried it in chilled dishes, such as dips or spreads, but I believe it's more suited for chips or veggie sticks, even though it lacks that cooked flavor.
