Reduce the salt !!!

Cutting the salt out of a regular meal can be as easy as making your own taco seasoning instead of buying one of those packets that have a bizzzziilllllllion mg's of sodium in it. Most of the items that go into this you probably have in your spice collection for sure. We use this in tacos, burritos, the picture below shows it being mixed with ground chicken for taco salad. You can use it for anything you like that is the best part of it. I also did not know that spices and seasonings can go bad. So by making your own taco seasoning mix you can use up some of your spices you already have.


You will need to mix 1 tsp of chilli powder, 1/2 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp of cumin, 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper, and 1 tsp of cornstarch.

Then add the mixture to your chicken, beef, ground chicken, I have even used it on ground turkey, tofu, fish. What ever you want!!!

If there isnt enough liquid in the bottom of the pan be sure to add a little water to ensure the seasoning is mixed throughout.

You can also add more of any of the seasonings to make it spicer. This is a basic recipe that creates a mild flavor.

Enjoy!
