A year or so ago, I started watching my sodium intake, and I noticed that whenever I made recipes that included commercially prepared seasoning blends, that day’s intake was really high.  So I’ve been trying to come up with my own blends – I like to mix up a triple or quadruple batch of this and keep it in a tightly sealed mason jar to use as needed. I usually use 2-3 TB per 1 pound of meat being used for tacos.

Ingredients:

• 4 TB chili powder
• 2 TB cumin
• 2 tsp oregano
• 2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients.
2. Store tightly sealed.
