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.0 -

What about cumin on instead of in the taco?0

You can mix 1 tsp each of cumin, chili powder, garlic poowder, onion powder, and paprika for a good taco seasoning0

I use it in lots of things and definitley a substitute for taco seasoning.0

I make an all-purpose kind of meat mixture - 1lb lean ground beef, a medium onion diced, 3-5 minced cloves of garlic, and a half tablespoon each of cumin and cayenne. A dash of EVOO is usually needed to cook the veggies, and I add a quarter teaspoon of Tony's Creole seasoning and kosher salt. This makes 4 REALLY generous helpings, is pretty low-sodium and delicious in a taco shell, on a sandwich, over WG pasta, etc... I freeze individual servings, they come in handy for a quick, easy meal!0

A little cumin goes a long way! I recently saw a salt-free chili powder, sold by Frontier, at Whole Foods.
Here's a recipe for making your own which I found online as I, too, am watching my sodium intake:
CHERIE'S NO-SALT CHILI POWDER
3 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons dried dried cilantro, crumbled. (This is sold in jars as “Mexican Oregano.”)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon tumeric
(I bought mine in a deliciously fragrant spice store in Kiryatgat, Israel.)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
one-quarter teaspoon cayenne
Gently and thoroughly mix the above ingredients.
Quantity: one-quarter cup.0 -
Wait.... cumin on tacos? Yuck!
>.<0 -
the only problem with cumin in the tacos is it gives it sort of a "curry" taste when you eat it after. That smell and taste is just nearly impossible to get rid of, especially in a small apartment.0

One of my best friends is Iranian and I do not appreciate racist comments. They are not welcomed here. Please keep it about health, food, weight loss, etc. This comment was reported.I think cumin smells like an dirty Iranian arm pit!0 -

I make my own taco seasoning because the taco packet doesn't taste like tacos at all. It's a taste kind of thing, I don't ever measure. I use:
garlic powder
onion powder
chili powder (be heavy handed with this)
cumin (this is the "taco" flavor, so I use a lot of this)
dried cilantro
chili flakes
pepper
salt to taste
It tastes way better than the packet and you can control the sodium content. I will never buy a packet again. You could also look up a recipe for taco seasoning online and make up a big batch you can store so you don't have to make it every time.
^THIS^ DEFINITELY!!!! I also used ground Coriander- no need for the packaged stuff and tasted so much more authentic!0 -

What's the point of making a taco without the cumin? You need your protein !!!0
