Make it a low sodium taco seasoning

This homemade taco seasoning mix doesn’t have much added salt in it so it’s naturally low-sodium. It’s also easy to decrease or omit the salt in the recipe if you need a lower sodium version or a no-sodium taco seasoning. Don’t worry, it will still taste great with just the regular spices!

How much seasoning per pound of meat?

This recipe makes 1.5 tbsp of seasoning mix, which is enough to season about one pound of ground beef, chicken, turkey, shrimp, fish or other meat.

If you find that the amount of seasoning isn’t to your liking, you can always double (or triple or quadruple) the mix. Just adjust the serving size in the recipe card below and the ingredients will automatically update for you.
