    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! - 1/11/10

    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! - 5/26/09

    It is great. I added a little more chili powder. I eat way too much sodium so this is perfect. - 3/26/11

    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! - 3/22/10

    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!! - 6/7/09

    This seasoning is fantastic! I didn't have onion powder, so I used the same amount of dried, minced onion. My husband has insisted that hang on to this recipe. - 8/2/12

    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! - 7/31/11
