Many store-bought seasoning blends include sugar or cornstarch-my food counter book says that several popular brands have 5 grams of carbs in 2 teaspoons! This is low-carb, very easy to put together, tastes great, and is even cheaper than the premixed stuff.
YIELD: About 8 tablespoons, or 4 batches
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cumin
- 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (less makes a more mild seasoning, more takes the spice up a notch)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Combine all the ingredients, blending well, and store in an airtight container.
- Use 2 tablespoons of this mixture to flavor 1 pound of ground beef, turkey, or chicken.
PER SERVING:
- 2 tablespoons will add just under 2 grams of carbohydrates to a 4-ounce serving of taco meat.
