Much lower salt than pre-made. Salt can be omitted. Great with half ground buffalo and half ground turkey breast or whatever you prefer. Buy bulk spices and you can make 5-plus batches for under $1.00!! Increasing black pepper and adding optional ingredients will increase heat. Using mild or regular chili powder and omitting optional ingredients will reduce heat. To keep salt content low make sure chili powder does not contain salt.

  • Use a food processor or blender: If you want a very fine powder, you can use a food processor or blender to grind the spices.
  • Store your seasoning in an airtight container: Once you've made your taco seasoning, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
