Homemade Taco Seasoning (grain-free)

 

Many of the pre-made or store-bought taco seasonings have grain in them in the form of cornstarch or other grain food starches.  It’s super easy to make your own! I have a sealed container with some mixed up on hand for Taco Tuesdays. That way, you know it doesn’t contain any unexpected additives. This one hits all the flavors I like to have in a taco! 

I use this to make my Instant Pot Ground Turkey Taco Meat that we use for grain-free tacos, taco salads, even Taco Stuffed Spaghetti Squash. It’s so versatile that leftovers can always be used in different recipes.

¡Buen provecho!
