My wellness plan for this year has forced me to make a lot of dietary changes. In addition to cutting back on calories and carbs, I am cutting way back on the preservatives I consume. Mixing up your own seasoning blends is such a simple way to cut preservatives out of your diet. I use taco seasoning in so many dishes. We love tacos at my house! Making homemade taco seasoning is a no-brainer for me.
This homemade taco seasoning is both preservative-free and gluten-free, and it’s so easy to customize the ingredients to suit your tastes. For example, you may like it a little spicier than I do and will want to add a bit more red pepper flakes.

We eat tacos once a week in our house. We love them. I am definitely trying this.
This would be SO handy to have on hand! I’m forever forgetting to buy taco seasoning at the store. Pinning this now…
This sounds like a great taco seasoning! I’m a punk when it comes to spices so I don’t add the cayenne.
Oh yum! We love taco nights! This would be great to try it sounds fabulous!
I think I have every spice that you’ve put in to this list. I’m going to have to check and make some soon. I love a good taco seasoning.
Thanks a bunch – going to make this soon!
Thanks so much for this! I’ve often wondered what was used in taco seasoning. Now that I know, I can make my own!
I love making my own seasonings. This is great
