Taco Seasoning Mix Recipes

I use this instead of buying taco mix.Sometimes I use less salt and sometimes I use less red pepper especially if I am making this for my little ones.You can adjust to taste.And most everybody has all this in their pantry.

It's so easy to make your own taco seasoning mix and tastes so much better that premixes.

Taco meat

This is a great homemade seasoning mix, I omit the paprika for a lower carb version

Mixiig your own dry taco seasoning reduces the salt considerably. If you want to eliminate more salt, exchange the salsa for no salt added tomatoes, or low salt salsa.

I cannot stand how much sodium a package has for taco seasoning that you buy from the store so I found this one and made some changes and this is what I came up with, I realy like it!

My husband is very salt sensitive and diabetic. Many of the taco seasoning packets found in the store contain sugar and lots of salt. Many also contain a thickening agent (usually corn starch) that just adds calories and is not really necessary. Mix this homemade version up ahead to use instead for healthier Mexican-style food.

About 2 Tbsp. equals 1 regular packet for seasoning power. Use 1 Tbsp. for a milder flavor.

Be sure to read the label on your chili powder. It is a combination of spices. Most do not contain salt or sugar, but some might.

If you like the little chunks of onion or garlic in your seasoning, use dried, minced onion or garlic instead of the granulated or powdered version. You will need about twice as much as the amounts listed and it will change the nutritional information slightly.

A convenient and inexpensive alternative to taco seasoning packets.

Instead of using packaged seasoning mix,thats loaded with MSG and other junk,I use this for my family and they love it

Make your own seasoning at home. Great for anyone trying to reduce sodium in their diet. Saves money! NO MSG!

Makes 1 serving.

Store bought @ 15 calories / 560 mg Sodium = 1 tsp

chicken tacos

Delicious and less expensive than packaged mixes. I usually triple this and store it in a quart jar in the freezer. So easy! It can also be adjusted to suit your taste. If you prefer a hotter seasoning add more red pepper flakes. Very low sodium too.

Throw together using shredded chicken.

As good as store bought ....but cheaper.
