You’ll keep this homemade Whole30 and Keto friendly Taco Seasoning in your pantry 24/7/365! This taco seasoning recipe is made with squeaky clean ingredients so it’s Paleo, Gluten Free, Sugar Free, plus it’s totally delicious on veggies, ground beef, chicken, shrimp, or really any kind of meat!
I’m so excited to share this homemade Taco seasoning recipe with you! Now before you ask, you know I’m all for making life easy. I buy all the store bought convenience items like Whole30 mayo and Whole30 ketchup, because.. well, it’s much easier than making my own.
But taco seasoning is something that I can throw together in about 2 minutes flat with ingredients I already have in my pantry, and then enjoy it as I need it, whenever I want.
Lots of store bought taco seasonings contain additives and sugars, which isn’t great if you’re following Whole30 or Keto. So when you make your own, you get full control over the ingredients! And in this recipe, there’s no sugar, and no junk. And as an added bonus, making your own spice blends means saving money! Hello, budget!
