Notes
Is homemade taco seasoning healthier than store-bought?
Often, yes. Many store bought packets contain added starches, anti-caking agents, and high sodium levels. Making it at home allows you to control exactly what goes into the recipe and your body! Can I make this salt-free?
Totally! Just omit the salt and season your dish to taste when cooking. How do I make it spicy?
Add cayenne pepper, chipotle powder (my fav) or crushed red pepper flakes.
