Ditch the packets of taco seasoning and start making your own!

Do you know how much MSG is in a typical pre-made taco seasoning? In about 2 tsp, there is typically over 500 mg of sodium, a lot of times coming from MSG. How great would it be to get rid of those unhealthy addititives, and start making your own easy taco seasoning. This recipe is for 1 lb of ground beef, but you can just increase the quantities and make some to store if you would like!

Now, I am not the person who typically pays attention to these things, but a quite a few years back I went through a period of very, very bad GI issues. The pain I had with these GI issues was unbearable, and I found over time (and trial and error) that foods containing high levels of MSG were the main culprits of my pain and GI issues. I started cutting some of these foods out, and taco seasoning was one of the biggest causes! That’s when I started making my own, and since then I would highly recommend this to anyone. The flavor is amazing! It’s super easy to put together, and it’s healthier for you and your family!

Ingredients for Easy Taco Seasoning

If you decide to make this in larger batches, it would be beneficial to store this in a sealable jar. You don’t want moisture to accumulate on the spices, everything will clump together.
