I have a recipe for ya...My Hubba-Loo looooooves Tacos! And, since I can have the taco meat & eat like a taco salad I make it often for him. Although, I got to looking & there are actually 4 carbs per serving of store bought seasoning! I never realized that it was so high!!

So, I was doing some low-carb recipe searching & came across a Low-Carb/Sugar-Free Taco Seasoning recipe. Hubba-Loo & I tried it out today for lunch & it was amazing! So yummy!

Low-Carb/Sugar-Free Taco Seasoning

1 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground oregano
1 tsp Splenda/Altern(you can buy it at Wal-Mart & it tastes better than Spenda)
1/2 tsp salt

Combine ingredients well. Add seasoning to 1lb of meat (I like ground turkey the best). Add 1 cup of water. Simmer on medium-low heat until all water is absorbed.

***I didn't have any paprika on hand so I omitted it from the recipe today. It tasted just fine. I'll buy some for next time & see if it makes a difference. Also, Hubby said it wasn't spicy enough for him so if you like it spicy you can add extra spicyness to it!

Recipe rating: 10 out of 10!

That's right..;)


I have made my own for years just bc of the sodium content! :eek:

I don't use splenda or anything though..

Pretty much what you listed except for splenda and oregano..

My extras are 1 tsp. dried cilantro

&

1/2 tsp. fajita seasoning.

My boyfriend and me like taco. So here this is what I do...all seasoning is to your taste.

1lbs of hamburger meat.
Garlic
Green peppers or chilies peppers
Onions
Adobe Spanish seasoning
Sazon-spanish seasoning
Salt and pepper.
Hot sauce.
Cumin
Paprika

For the tacos, we use shredded cheese and cook in the microwave. Cook it until it’s almost Burt. Shape it into a taco. Also you can eat it with a salad.
