About the only messy ingderient in my regime is the occasional satchel of tex mex goodness that I throw in with the pound of meat.

It's all sugar and salt and sodium glutamate.

I have a problem with the sugar. I've been trying to recreate the artificial taste before, but failed miserably.

Is there a recipe for a low carb faximile floating around somewhere in here?

    I can tell you what I put in mine :) Basil, Thyme, (1tsp ea.) a little bit of ginger, chili powder, cumin, garlic (1 Tbsp ea.) and a pinch of sea salt. Mix in a medium minced onion and add a tbsp. Worcestershire. Perfect tex mex taco meat.

    I sometimes just mix in part of a jar of organic salsa. You can make your own with fresh tomatoes, spices, peppers, onions...etc. The end result is no preservatives, no or little salt or sugar, but great taste.

    Organic. Home made. Fresh ingredients. Been there. It's good, but meh as an alternative to the processed taste I'm after.

    Here is a taco seasoning recipe without sugar. It is spicy so adjust the red pepper flakes to taste.

    I like this stuff. Yes it is from a vegetarian site. I hope they don't mind I use it often on meat.

    I'll try all these and report back. Flavor enhancers will be added.

    Here's a Mexican spice blend I came across from Blue Apron: equal parts of Garlic Powder, Ground Cumin, Ancho Chili Powder, Sweet Paprika, and Whole (dried) Mexican Oregano. Ole!
