Time for a Fiesta! Taco Seasoning Recipe

High-sodium, high fat tacos?? Not in my house!  In an effort to steer away from prepackaged seasonings and sauces, I have been making my own taco seasoning for quite some time.  I love my taco seasoning – we use it for everything:  (chicken breast or extra lean beef) quesadillas, burritos, tacos, fajitas, mexican dips.  It’s great because it is low in salt (in contrast to the prepackaged varieties) and if you are on a low-sodium diet, you can nix the salt altogether.  This recipe makes a pretty large amount – I keep the extra in a jar for future use.  When adding this seasoning to meat, I like to drop in some medium taco sauce …even the baby likes things extra spicy around here!  Enjoy the recipe.  Best dishes and yummy dreams!
