Tacos are a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a popular choice for parties and gatherings, as they are easy to make and can be customized to suit everyone's taste. This article provides two easy-to-follow recipes for a no-salt taco seasoning, one made with chili powder and the other made with smoked paprika. Both recipes are gluten-free, vegan, and paleo-friendly, making them a great option for people with dietary restrictions. The chili powder version has a classic taco flavor, while the smoked paprika version has a slightly smoky and earthy flavor. Both recipes use a blend of spices, including cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper, to create a flavorful and aromatic seasoning that can be used to season ground beef, chicken, or tofu. Once the seasoning is made, it can be used to make tacos, burritos, or enchiladas. The article also includes a recipe for a simple guacamole and a pico de gallo salsa, which are perfect for adding a fresh and flavorful touch to your tacos.

NO-SALT TACO SEASONING MIX
From 500 Low Sodium Recipes by Dick Logue. I haven't tried this one yet, but Dick Logue has some other really good salt-free seasoning recipes, so I'm posting this for future use. (The book says it makes 6 servings of 1/2 tsp. each. In practical terms, that works out to about 3 tbsp. per pound of ground beef.)

Steps:
- 1. Stir everything together and store in a jar or plastic container. 7 teaspoons of this mixture equals 1.25oz. pkg. of taco seasoning. So, this makes 3 of those packages. I have also purchased those little zip lock bags and put 7teaspoons of this concoction in each of them so I just need to reach for a bag instead of count out 7 teaspoons each time. Then when you're making the taco meat, the water a normal package of seasoning calls for can actually be added to your seasonings right in the bag and then poured out on your hamburger. Less mess!

Tips:
- Start with a good base: Use a blend of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano as the foundation of your no-salt taco seasoning.
- Add some heat: If you like your tacos with a bit of a kick, add some cayenne pepper or chipotle powder to the mix.
- Don't forget the smokiness: Smoked paprika is a great way to add a smoky flavor to your taco seasoning. If you don't have smoked paprika, you can use regular paprika, but it won't have the same smoky flavor.
- Use fresh herbs: If you have them on hand, add some fresh cilantro, oregano, or parsley to your taco seasoning. This will give it a brighter, more flavorful taste.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste: Taste your taco seasoning before you use it and adjust the seasonings to your liking. If it's too spicy, add some more cumin or chili powder. If it's too bland, add some more salt or cayenne pepper.
