Low Sodium Taco Seasoning
Description
The Low Sodium Taco Seasoning combines a variety of ground spices: paprika, chili powder, chipotle chili powder for smoky heat, garlic and onion powders for savory depth, dried oregano for herbal notes, black pepper for mild heat, and red chili flakes for extra spice. Cumin can also be added optionally for an earthier flavor.
The spices are mixed and stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness. This seasoning offers flavor complexity typical of taco blends but with significantly less sodium compared to commercial packets. For example, it has roughly 24mg of sodium per tablespoon, versus over 400mg in a common branded packet. This makes it suitable for those managing sodium intake while still wanting robust taco seasonings.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder or more chili powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons oregano dried
- ½ teaspoons black pepper
- ½-1 teaspoon red chili flakes or more
- ½-1 teaspoon cumin (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the paprika, chili powder, chipotle powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, black pepper, and red chili flakes in an airtight jar.
- Store in a cool, dark place until ready to use.
Notes
- The chipotle powder contributes most of the sodium content, so adjusting its quantity can affect sodium levels.
- This mix contains about 24mg sodium per tablespoon, significantly less than many commercial alternatives.
- Store the seasoning in a cool, dark place in an airtight jar to keep it fresh.
