Low-Sodium Taco Seasoning

I call it 'taco seasoning', but really, you could use this blend to spice up virtually anything. I don't like to use the pre-made mixes in the grocery stores unless I am in a pinch. The sodium (even low-sodium options) leave me parched after a meal. Try making this easy blend from many ingredients that you have in your spice cabinet.  Fajitas, homemade salsa, or breakfast burritos - you name it - this seasoning will be a staple in your spice cabinet.

I love to get my roommate 'Smitty' in the kitchen. A lover of all things Tex-Mex, she made this recipe stating, "Yup - this is easy!" So, go ahead and assemble this seasoning to create your rendition of the perfect taco. Smitty did. It helps when margaritas pair so nicely with these flavors!
