Homemade Taco Seasoning (Salt-Free)


I don't use a lot of salt when I cook so when I do use products that have high sodium content, I can tell. I'm usually chugging water like no other for the rest of the night. I stopped using taco seasoning packets and started making my own without any salt at all. I make a batch of this now when making tacos, salsa chicken, taco dip, etc. Plus, it's always nice when you know exactly what you're putting into your dinners! Enjoy!

Homemade Taco Seasoning 
What You'll Need:

  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

Directions: 

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. You may add more Cayenne to make it a little hotter or less if you prefer it very mild.

Yield: Approximately 1 ounce

Use Seasoning anywhere you would use a packet of Taco Seasoning.
