This salt free taco seasoning is a fantastic alternative to store-bought blends. You can make a single batch, or bulk blend this spice to store in the pantry for many taco nights to come.
We love homemade tacos, but never use store-bought taco seasoning, as it can contain added salt, preservatives, and silicon dioxide. No thank you! For us, all our favorite taco recipes shine with a homemade taco seasoning that has much less sodium than store-bought taco seasoning packets. A delicious blend of salt-free pantry staple spices come together for a great spice blend for anyone watching their sodium intake.
This low-sodium taco seasoning is so versatile – you can mix it with ground beef to make tacos, toss it with low sodium chicken tacos, or steak for carnitas, or mix it with beans for a healthy vegetarian burrito. Mixing and blending your own spices is one of the best ways (and affordable ways) to spice up your life without salt.

- Salt Free Regular Chili Powder – some chili powder blends do contain salt, so I like this no-salt version to limit the sodium. Since chili powder is one of the main ingredients, I opt for using a good one.
- Cumin – for a delicious savory spice that bring classic taco seasoning flavor.
- Smoked Paprika: give an additional smoky flavor to your taco meat with 0 mg of sodium. You can use regular paprika too.
- Oregano – you can use dried oregano or fresh Mexican oregano.
- Garlic Powder: a pantry staple ingredient with great flavor! I love this garlic powder and add it to many of our own seasoning blends.
- Onion Powder: adds a delicious and savory flavor to this dish as well.
- Red Chili Flakes or Cayenne pepper: for a little heat! I like to add a few shakes of chili pepper to this recipe to give this dish a nice complex depth of flavor.
- Lime Juice Powder- One of my favorite low so hacks – this powdered lime juice adds so much flavor with just a pinch.
