How to Make Homemade Taco Seasoning
Add all the spices and herbs to a bowl and mix until well combined. That's it!
Store in an airtight container or jar for several months.
Does Taco Seasoning Have Carbs?
All herbs and spices have some carbohydrates. But the key to ensuring your Keto Taco Seasoning is low carb is to make sure all the carbs it contains are natural and not from maltodextrin, added sugars or preservatives.
For one serving of this Keto Taco Seasoning there is only 1 net carb! And since that is spread out throughout a recipe, the carb count is minimal.
What are some Ways to Use Taco Seasoning?
You can use this seasoning to spice up any of your favorite Keto dishes. You can use it in this Easy Taco Meat, Keto Taco Soup or most any of your favorite low carb Mexican entrées. But here are some other good reasons you'll want to keep this tasty and savory blend on hand.
Create a creamy and spicy dip with taco seasoning mix: Just add a little sour cream, mayo or soften cream cheese with taco seasoning blend and you'll have a great dip to serve with fresh veggies.
Spicy Mayo: Wanting to add a little kick to your sandwiches made with Chaffles? Add a dash of low carb taco seasoning to Homemade mayo to create a wonderfully tasty spread to ordinary sandwiches.
Add some spice to your salads: I love to create homemade salad dressing and this homemade Keto Ranch Dressing is one of my all time favorites. Add extra special flavor to the dressing by adding just a teaspoon or so of the taco seasoning blend recipe. Then you can use over taco or Southwest salads.
How do I Keep Homemade Seasonings Fresh?
I have several great tips for you to help keep all your seasonings fresh as the day you made them:
- Keep your seasonings in a dark place like a pantry or kitchen cabinet. Just like exposure to air, direct sunlight will also effect the longevity of their flavor.
- Store spices and seasonings in an airtight container like these. Exposure to air can cause spices to lose their flavor quickly.
- Don't store your spices in the freezer. Spices and seasonings don't hold up well when exposed to moisture.
- Heat will also cause seasonings to lose their flavor quickly. It's best to keep them in a cabinet or pantry away from any heat source like your stove or dishwasher.
- Either label with the date you made your seasonings or you can keep a log of when you made them. This ensures you always have fresh and flavorful spices on hand.
- For optimal freshness, homemade seasoning blends should be used within a year.
