    How about this mix of ingredients??? I don't watch sodium................................YET. LOL! Sounds like I should.
    I had this recipe for homemade taco seasoning from someone when I was doing WW five years ago. Never made it because I never found ground oregano


    1 tablespoon Chili Powder
    2 teaspoons Onion Powder
    1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
    1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
    1 teaspoon Paprika
    1 teaspoon Ground Oregano

    Can you put cumin in anything else? If its decent seasoning, I think I'd like to just make up a dry rub and spray it on everything.

    I love cumin in tacos. It creates so much more complexity than just a stand alone taco.

    I use cumin and chili powder in place of the packaged taco seasoning to save on sodium....I think it tastes great!

    Me too! Along with some garlic and onion powder. You won't miss anything :)

    Found a recipe for taco seasoning on allrecipes.com that is pretty good. You can store it for up to a year, and you could omit the teaspoon of salt if you wanted.

    I'm curious as to why people are suggesting garlic powder and onion powder? Why wouldn't you just use real onion and garlic. Use whole foods ever possible.

    It's been about 4 days since I last had cumin in my taco. Hopefully, tonight will stop that streak:) Totally craving a little cumin in my taco.

    Frontier makes a bulk taco seasoning that has no salt. You can usually find it in the bulk foods/spices section of food co-ops and other grocery stores that carry bulk seasonings.

    I was AMAZED at how much sodium is in Trader Joe's taco seasoning. Also, canned enchilada sauce is INSANELY high in sodium.

    Cumin is a common ingredient in mexican cooking... and it is high in antioxidants, which makes it very healthy... without the salt.
