Taco seasoning seems to be something that we all run out of when we need it the most. Luckily, you can make it easily using ingredients you probably already have in your spice rack.
You’ll need:
4 tsp chili powder
3 tsp cumin
2 tsp each salt, pepper
1 tsp each paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, red chili flakes
That’s it! You can adjust the measurements to make a bunch at once for storage.
This is not night-shade free. Paprika is a nightshade.
I for one, love nightshades and I can’t get enough of them. I will try to eat as many nightshades as possible. You name it: capsicums, potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes, chillies… I feel deeply sorry for those who apparently restrict them from their diet on the basis of some ill-informed theory.
Please remove this. Nightshades include both Chili peppers and Paprika! The only ingredients you would be able to use on this recipe are cumin, salt and black pepper.
Not sure where all this nightshade talk is coming from, and from where it needs to be “removed”. Did I accidently mark it as nightshade free on chowstalker? I just checked and it’s not labeled as “nightshade free”.
@Cavegrl, are onions, garlic and oregano nightshades? Those should be fine in a nightshade-free diet as well, as far as I know.
Russ,
Sorry my original post was unclear. Yes, it was labeled under the nightshade-free in chowstalker. Now it’s not under that listing, weird. I would think I was crazy, but apparently Cavegrl saw it too.
Giang,
I don’t have a problem with nightshades, but my co-worker does. We know because she was doing the whole 30 without nightshades and then trialed some tomatoes and had a reaction to them. We’ll be trialing her on other nightshades after this month to see if she has a reaction to all or just tomatoes. Please don’t dismiss people’s reactions to nightshades just because you are able to tolerate them.
