Instructions

There are two ways to put the seasoning together:

Mix in a bowl

Simply mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.

Mortar and pestle or spice grinder

Grind all of the ingredients together in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder This will release more of the aromatics and will crush the oregano and chives into smaller pieces.

Notes

How to use

Of course, this spice blend is perfect for your Mexican inspired dishes, but it’s super versatile and can be used in many more dishes beyond taco recipes.

Use it in any of the following:

Season meat and poultry – it's perfect for ground beef, chicken, turkey, pork or lamb
Use it in soup – make a delicious Instant Pot Chicken Taco Soup
Mexican-inspired fish – add a sprinkle when cooking your fish, blackened salmon or baja tacos
Add to vegetables – stir into sautéed veggies or add to roasted vegetables

Variations

I love to switch up my spices all. the. time. Flavor is the spice of life, right? Try these variations to customize your own low-FODMAP taco seasoning recipe.

Make it sweet – add a teaspoon of your favorite sweetener
Include other herbs – try adding thyme, cilantro, parsley or allspice
Try a different salt – replace sea salt with different culinary salts – smoked salts and kala namak black salt are terrific with these spices. Read more in my Kala Namak Ingredient Spotlight.
Adjust the heat – for a mild taco seasoning, cut back on the amount of chili or chipotle powder. Or, to make it spicier, add a bit of cayenne or hotter dried chili peppers.
