No Sodium Taco Seasoning

Finding no sodium taco seasoning in the store is almost impossible. So I decided to start making my own that contains real ingredients only.  Also, you’ll know that this seasoning does NOT contain preservatives and unsafe additives, dairy or whey that the store-bought packets often do.

This is an ingredient list and nutritional facts of a conventional taco seasoning packet. The sodium is 16% (yikes) plus whey (What the label doesn’t tell you: hormones, antibiotics, GMOs, glyphosate) and potato starch (more GMOs and glyphosate). The levels are only assuming you eat two tacos. Each time you make a healthier choice, you are protecting your gut (the foundation of immune health), your liver, kidney, brain, and all vital organs.

This no-sodium taco seasoning recipe takes minutes to make, saves money, and protects your health! I triple the recipe so I always have enough for a couple of extra meals, saving time. With this taco seasoning recipe, you can adjust the level of spice to your tastes.

This makes about 2 Tablespoons or enough for 1 pound of ground meat or beans. I double or triple the recipe to keep on hand to add to soups and stews as well. I purchase all organic spices as well. Typically, I buy in bulk from Mountain Rose Herbs to save additional money as they ship in bags instead of glass bottles. I save the store-bought bottles and refill them as needed.

Ingredients:

• 1 T. Chili Powder
• ½ t. Paprika
• ¼ t. Garlic Powder
• ¼ t. Onion Powder
• 1½ t. Cumin
• ¼ t. Red Chili Pepper Flakes
• ¼ t. Oregano

Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. If you are storing or making a double or triple batch, I mix in a glass pyrex cup with a pour spout and use a funnel to pour into my glass jar.
