No Sugar Homemade Taco Seasoning

"I use this blend when seasoning for chicken or beef is called for in Mexican-style recipes for my South Beach Diet.....no sugar, flour or cornstarch to be found in this recipe. It's not too spicy; if you want a bit more of a "kick", you may want to add some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. This recipe makes 2Tbsp plus 1 1/2 tsp of seasoning."

  1. This is a great starter base, however I think it needed to be more spicy so I added 1/4 tsp (approx.) of ground cayenne pepper. I also added some dried minced onion as well. One batch seasoned 2 lbs. of ground beef. To this I added about 2 cups of water and about 3 Tbsp. of cornstarch as a thickener. Simmered it for a few minutes over low heat, tastes better than store bought. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. I love being able to make taco seasoning for my family out of what I already have on my spice rack!
     
  3. Yummo! I used this on sweet potato fries that I baked in the oven and it came out great! Love the no sugar part of it and I don't have to buy those packets anymore from the store. Made for Zaar Cookbook Tag Game 2010.
     
  4. Fantastic! I was skeptical because other mixes I've tried never seem to turn out the way I want. SO yummy - it made my "tamale pie" a success!
     
  5. Wonderful blend...Recommended to me by NELady playing the "I Recommend Tag Game"...for a girl who likes spicy food and Mexican flavors it is strange that I have never had taco seasoning before...but I found this little gem just as I happened to have it jotted on my shopping list as a must to pick up- well so much better to make my own instead...I made a double batch and added the extra heat :)- So far, used it in a raw chili recipe and sprinkled it on popcorn...wondering how I have gotten along without it all this time {{lol}}-Thanks Tons -YUM!! :)- a new staple in my pantry!!
