Is Taco Seasoning Keto-Friendly?
If we talk about those mixes we find in stores, I will sadly announce that they are not as healthy as we think. Although we are talking about a simple mix of ingredients, those jars in stores contain other ingredients like sugar and cornstarch that aren’t very good for keto.
So if you were wondering why you should make this mixture at home when you can buy it from the store, I just gave you a pretty important reason.

Ingredients For These Homemade Taco Seasoning
Here are all the ingredients that you will need to create this delicious homemade taco seasoning:
- Chili Powder – It adds some spicy to the mixture. Cayenne pepper can also be used.
- Ground Cumin – The key ingredient to give the seasoning a lovely fragrant flavor.
- Garlic Powder – this is one of my favorite seasonings, but make sure that it is not a salty one. Otherwise, you will have to eliminate the salt.
- Onion Powder – you can also use dried onion flakes.
- Dried Oregano – Coriander and dried cilantro can be used instead of oregano.
- Paprika – The paprika used is regular paprika. Use smoked paprika for a smoky taste.
- Salt – Only a small quantity of salt is added to the mixture since, depending on the recipe, you would most likely add more salt.
- Pepper – you can skip it if you don’t want a spicy mix.

Tips For Making The Best Homemade Taco Seasoning
- If it’s properly stored, it will last several months.
- Double or triple the recipe if you plan to make tacos, fajitas, and other keto-friendly Mexican dishes.
- Tightly pack the taco seasoning. Spices lose their value as they are exposed to air. Plastic zip-top bags work nicely if you don’t have any airtight containers.
- You can add more of your favorite spice to your taste.
