Thank you. I forgot to get a Taco Seasoning packet, so this was a lifesaver. I love the salt-free feature. Submitted by:

I get so frustrated with all the sodium in packaged taco seasoning - this is SO much better & tastes great! I add in some water to help the seasoning absorb into the meat. Plan on making it in bulk for the winter months! Submitted by:

I have tried this seasoning recipe twice now - once for myself at home and once for a nachos potluck at work. It got rave reviews and compliments from everyone at work, and I love that it's salt-free! Submitted by:

It is great. I added a little more chili powder. I eat way too much sodium so this is perfect. Submitted by:

I made soft Taco's tonight and decided to make this seasoning because the store version is so high in sodium. This is the BEST Taco Seasoning I have ever tasted!!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Submitted by:

Perfect! I didn't have ground oregano, so used flakes. Subbed smoked paprika for the paprika. Added 1/2 tsp chipotle powder for heat. Used to make fajitas. Sauteed veggies, added 1 tbsp mix & 1/4 water. Did same with chicken. Sprinkled with Morton's Lite Salt and pepper. Awesome! Submitted by:

This is so great - it tasted just like the store-bought type, except without the dreaded "sodium overload dry mouth syndrome"! Thanks for sharing it Submitted by:

This worked really well. I used it with the Baja Fish Taco recipe. It's nice to be able to enjoy tacos without all the sodium. Submitted by:

This mix of seasoning tastes just like the packets of taco seasoning, without leaving me parched from salt overload! :-) No one in my family even realized that I had changed up our tacos! Submitted by:

This was the second low sodium/home-made recipe for taco seasoning that I've tried...and this one was far better, and had less calories! Submitted by:

This is the only taco seasoning we use now. I make it in larger batches and keep in a sealed container--you would use 3 tablespoons per pound of meat. We add just a little kosher salt at the end of cooking to bring out the flavors. So much better (and better for you) than the packets! Submitted by:

Thanks for the recipe I'm going to try this and will come back and provide my rating. I have had to skip a lot of good recipes I have found simply because the sodium mostly because of the taco packet was way too high. Submitted by:

I have been using this for years! Anything that I want to put a spicy feel to I put it on. Steak is one of Fave.. Rub it in and then cook as usual! It makes the steak so good I save calories by not using A1!! Submitted by:

Graet recipe! Used it as the seasoning for the Slow Cooker Chicken Salsa (on SparkRecipies) and it turned out great. I am so happy to have a low-sodium substitute! Submitted by:

Very good base recipe for the seasoning. I added a lil red peper flakes because like the other commenter, I like it spicy. Be careful of the Chili powders, they are NOT created equal and some have more sodium than the others (I was shocked when I read the labels on some). Submitted by:

Sounds like a great substitute-- hubbie is on a major low sodium diet, and he loves Mexican food. This will make cooking for him much easier. Submitted by:
