Homemade sodium-free taco seasoning recipe
Okay, let’s be real for a second here… who DOESN’T like tacos? I can honestly say that I don’t think I’ve ever come across an individual that wasn’t a fan of this delicious Mexican dish. The best part about tacos is that they are never one in the same— they are easily customizable and can be eaten in many forms.
It is however important to note that most taco seasonings that are available for purchase in grocery stores are VERY high in sodium. For example, just one serving of traditional McCormick taco seasoning has just shy of 400 mg of sodium in it— approximately 1/4 of the average individuals daily sodium needs. That is a lot, especially when you think about the fact that that doesn’t even account for sodium in the rest of the meal. The hubs and I have recently starting making our own taco seasoning from scratch because of this very thing. And the best part? We’ve mastered a recipe that doesn’t require ANY addition of salt— making this a MUCH healthier alternative to your traditional store-bought taco seasoning. See the recipe below for more.
