Low Carb / Low Sodium* Taco Seasoning

Most commercially sold taco seasoning blends contain cornstarch and a lot of salt ~ both things that we as low carbers try to avoid.

 I mix this up in a double or triple batch and keep it in a small jar in the cupboard so its ready to go whenever the craving for tacos hits.

Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (more if you like it hotter)

2 Tablespoons Chili powder

1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon Onion powder

1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper

1/2 teaspoon (Mexican) Oregano

1 teaspoon Paprika

3 teaspoons ground Cumin

2 teaspoons Black Pepper

Directions

Measure all  ingredients into a jar with a tight fitting lid, shake to mix.

Cover tightly to keep any of the spice blend that you're not using right away fresh.
