Homemade Taco Seasoning With Salt-Free Option

Jan 27, 2021 · Leave a Comment

I’m not sure how many times I’ve said it… we eat a LOT of Mexican food around here! It’s so easy to throw tacos or taco salad together for a quick dinner.

I was craving tacos the other week when I realized we didn’t have any taco seasoning on hand. Most of the time, we pick up the generic brand taco seasoning packets. I figured it would be easy enough to put together on my own homemade taco seasoning recipe, so I threw one together with some of my favorite flavors.

Garlic salt seems to be a staple around here. We try not to overdo it, but garlic salt does wind up in a lot of my recipes. It’s not too bad, since I don’t eat much processed food loaded with sodium. If you used garlic salt in full, this recipe comes out to about 1/4 of your recommended daily value salt. If you are trying to watch your sodium intake, you could substitute half or all the garlic salt for garlic powder.

This particular night, I put together a great taco salad—a little bit of shredded Colby jack, veggies, and a side of plain Greek yogurt.

Taco salads are one of my favorite things to pack for lunch. It seems to be the only salad I don’t get sick of during the week. Something about a Mexican fiesta…

I also used this seasoning blend on chicken sauteed with white onions and green peppers for tacos later in the week. It was equally awesome!
