Ingredients

6 tsp chili powder
4 1/2 tsp cumin
2 1/2 tsp garlic powder
5 tsp paprika
3 tsp onion powder

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!

Flour Tortillas-sodium free (low sodium opt) image

I looked at dozens of recipes and put together a very basic, simple recipe that met my needs. You can add 1/4 tsp. of salt for a approx. 23 mg. of sodium tortilla, or 1/2 tsp of salt for approx. a 53 mg. sodium tortilla. You can use a Bread Machine or Stand Mixer to do the mixing and kneading for you!!! Be sure to keep cooked...

Ingredients

3 c all purpose flour
1 c warm water
1/2 c olive oil or vegetable oil
1/4-1/2 tsp lite sea salt, opt
MRS. DASH SEASONING OPT
2 Tbsp mrs. dash southwest and chipotle seasoning

Steps:

1. STAND MIXER METHOD: Add flour, seasoning if desired, water and oil. Using a dough hook, set on stir and let the dough mix. Scrape the sides of bowl after a few minutes. Let the machine work the dough for about 7-8 min. Add more flour as dough is working if it is sticking to sides or bottom of mixing bowl.
2. BREAD MACHINE METHOD: Place water and oil in bread pan, then salt if desired, then flour. Place on Dough Only cycle and let your machine do the work.
3. Once mixing and kneading is complete, divide dough into small portions (I made 14 out of mine and they made 6-8" tortillas). Form into a ball, roll out on floured surface as thin as possible.
4. Brown in very hot cast iron skillet or on comal or griddle. Cook on each side just a few seconds till browning begins.
5. Mrs. Dash seasoned tortillas

SPICE ESSENTIALS: SODIUM-FREE TACO SEASONING

Spice Essentials: Sodium-Free Taco Seasoning image

This is a great taco seasoning, because not only does it allow you control the heat; in addition, you get to control the sodium. Most store-bought taco seasonings are absolutely loaded with salt; however, in this recipe, you are in control. If you are on a sodium-restricted diet, leave it out, or just use a pinch or two...

Ingredients

PLAN/PURCHASE
THE HEAT
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp white pepper, freshly ground
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, or red-pepper flakes
THE PIZZAZZ
2 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp paprika, smoked variety
1 Tbsp dehydrated onions, crushed
1/2 Tbsp dried oregano
1/2 Tbsp garlic powder

Steps:

1. PREP/PREPARE
2. It is all in the Chili Powder: There are a lot of good chili powders in the market, and you probably have a favorite; although I usually make my own, two of my store-bought favorites are: • Red New Mexico Hatch Chili Powder • Mexene Chili Powder If you cannot find these locally, they are available through Amazon, and if you are a Prime member, shipping is free. Is this a great country, or what? This is my homemade version: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/soup/soup-chili/diy-kick-butt-chili-powder.html?r=1
3. This recipe will produce about 8.5 tablespoons of taco spice, and be enough to fill one standard spice bottle and about half of another. When a spice runs out, I scrape the label off the old bottle, and throw it in the dishwater, then when I make a new spice mix, I have a jar to store it in.
4. A certain percentage of the population does not like cumin. If you are one of those folks (I am not), then just leave it out, and add a bit more of the other spices, to compensate.
5. If you do not have any smoked paprika, I suggest going with a sweet version. But, this ingredient, to me, is important to the overall flavor of the spice mix.
6. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
7. Use a spice blender, or mortar and pestle, to crush up the dehydrated onions.
8. Mix with the other dry spices, place in a tightly-sealed container, and store in a cool dry place, away from sunlight, until needed.
9. PLATE/PRESENT
10. Use in any recipe that calls for taco seasoning. FYI: Those packets of taco seasoning that you get at the grocer, each contain 2 tablespoons of seasoning. So, doing the math, you have an equivalent of 4 packets. Enjoy.
11. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

Tips for Following a Sodium-Free Diet:

Read food labels carefully. Many foods that are not labeled "low sodium" or "sodium-free" still contain high levels of sodium. Check the nutrition facts panel for the amount of sodium per serving and choose foods that are low in sodium or have no added salt.
Use fresh ingredients instead of processed foods. Processed foods often contain high levels of sodium, while fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are naturally low in sodium.
Use herbs, spices, and citrus to flavor your food instead of salt. There are many delicious ways to flavor your food without adding salt. Try using fresh herbs, spices, citrus fruits, and vinegars to add flavor to your dishes.
Cook at home instead of eating out. Restaurant food is often high in sodium, so cooking at home gives you more control over the amount of sodium in your food.
Choose low-sodium or sodium-free alternatives to your favorite foods. Many foods, such as canned vegetables, soups, and sauces, are available in low-sodium or sodium-free versions.

Conclusion:

Following a sodium-free diet can be a challenge, but it is possible. By following these tips, you can reduce your sodium intake and improve your overall health. Eating a sodium-free diet can help to lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease, and improve overall health and well-being. Talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian for personalized guidance and support in following a sodium-free diet.
