All the Flavor, None of the Sodium

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder (ancho chili powder works great)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (or smoked paprika for extra flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric (optional, for color and subtle flavor)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add more for more heat if desired)
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions:

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl or jar.
  2. Store the taco seasoning in an airtight container (a small jar or spice bottle works well) for up to 6 months.
  3. Use approximately 2-3 tablespoons of this seasoning mix for 1 lb of ground meat or chicken (adjust to taste).

Tips:

  • Adjust spice level: Feel free to increase or decrease the cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to suit your preferred spice level.
  • For added depth: You can add a pinch of ground coriander or cocoa powder for an earthy, rich flavor if you’d like.

This mix adds all the flavor without the sodium!
