This easy homemade taco seasoning recipe is such a great addition to your spice cabinet. It is also completely sugar-free, making it a great option for anyone who follows a keto lifestyle or low carb diet.

HOW TO MAKE THIS TACO SEASONING RECIPE:

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp chili powder
• 1 Tbsp paprika
• 1 Tbsp salt
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 Tbsp pepper
• 2 tsp dehydrated onion
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly.
3. Store the spice mixture in an airtight container.

Note: I like to use 2 Tbsp of this mix per pound of meat that I am cooking.

Tips and Tricks:

• I like to use a small mason jar to store this homemade taco seasoning mix.
• Everyone’s taste is a little different. You can play with the amounts of each ingredient in this mix to find the perfect ratio of spice for you and your family.
• Looking for a medium or hot taco mix? Simply add more chili powder and/or cayenne pepper to the mix. You could also try including red pepper flakes in the recipe.

TIPS FOR KETO COOKING:

• Find low carb substitutions for your current favorite recipes. Try cauliflower instead of perogies or radishes instead of potatoes.
• Maintain a healthy balance of protein and fats. Sometimes it’s hard to get enough fat and/or protein in a ketogenic diet, so be sure to include a balance of both in your dishes.
• Plan ahead and use tools like this Meal Planning Printable to reach maximum success.
• Find recipes that you love, like this Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole, Taco Bake, and Hamburger Soup, and use them in your weekly rotation.
• Be sure to stock the kitchen with helpful tools like this food scale, these measuring cups, and a Kitchen Aid mixer.
