Taco seasoning from a packet can be a quick and easy way to make tacos but unfortunately most packets have added sugar and a lot of carbs.
Luckily it is easy to make your own taco seasoning from spices you probably already have.
Here is what I use, you can experiment with the spices to get the taste that you desire.
Ingredients (For 1 lb of meat):
2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt & pepper to taste
*For spicier taco seasoning you can also add Cayenne pepper
Instructions:
- Brown 1 lb of meat
- Add salt & pepper while browning
- Once browned, add other spices
- Add a little water if its dry and not mixing in well
- Mix well, and taste. Make adjustments as needed to your taste.
