I love, love, love to make my own taco seasoning. It is so easy and just tastes better to me! Maybe because I made it, and I love me. What I enjoy most about making your own taco seasoning, is you can control the sodium level. Many of the packaged taco seasonings or simmers have a ton of salt, this is no bueno. Like sugar, salt is hidden everywhere. Do yourself a favor and avoid the face bloat the next morning. Make your own seasoning and control salt and spice levels!
Try this seasoning with my Game-Day Mini Tacos with Slow Cooker Shredded Beef!
This taco seasoning is seriously so easy and perfect. I make batches of this and use old spice jars and fill them up. We make tacos and enchiladas quite often, this comes in super handy. The best part is that YOU control the salt content and ingredients! Nothing you can't pronounce in this mix!
