Much lower salt than pre-made. Salt can be omitted. Great with half ground buffalo and half ground turkey breast or whatever you prefer. Buy bulk spices and you can make 5-plus batches for under $1.00!! Increasing black pepper and adding optional ingredients will increase heat. Using mild or regular chili powder and omitting optional ingredients will reduce heat. To keep salt content low make sure chili powder does not contain salt.

DRY TACO SEASONING MIX

Tips:

  • Use fresh spices: For the best flavor, use whole spices and grind them yourself just before using. Pre-ground spices can lose their flavor and potency over time.
  • Toast your spices: Toasting your spices before grinding them will help to release their flavor and aroma. Toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Watch carefully to avoid burning the spices.
  • Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to create your own unique blend. Some common spices used in taco seasoning include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add oregano, coriander, or cayenne pepper for a little extra kick.
  • Adjust the heat level to your taste: If you don't like spicy food, you can reduce the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper in the recipe. Or, if you like things hot, you can add more. Just be sure to taste the seasoning before you add it to your food so that you can adjust it to your liking.
  • Store your taco seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
