Salt Free Taco Seasoning

Ok, if you're living with heart failure you have learned by now that you can NOT use the packaged taco seasoning mixes. Here are a couple different salt free taco seasoning recipes that are pretty good. Just remember to look for salt free chili powder because some chili powder is very high in sodium.

First Recipe

6 tablespoons chili powder (look for the unsalted version)
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon white pepper

Place all ingredients in a zip lock sandwich bag and shake!


Here's a slightly different recipe.

4 teaspoons minced onion
2 teaspoons chili powder (again, get the unsalted version)
1 teaspoon corn starch
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or more if you like it hot!

You can store in an airtight container for up to 1 year.
