This homemade taco seasoning mix recipe lets you make low carb, low salt or gluten free taco seasoning on the cheap, using spices you probably already have on hand.
You can pick up many common spices for a buck at the dollar store and sometimes on sale for a dollar at CVS. Just make sure none of the spices have added gluten if you’re looking to make a gluten free taco seasoning mix. Lower the salt if you’re watching your sodium.
