Step-by-step
- Mix ingredients together and store in an air-tight jar or seasoning bottle so you can use over and over again!
Standard store-bought taco seasoning relies heavily on ground nightshades like chili powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper, which trigger inflammation responses on an autoimmune protocol. Removing these ingredients strips away traditional red color and heat. This blend rebuilds savory depth through alliums and dried herbs instead. Turmeric provides a warm golden hue that mimics traditional spice mixes while adding earthy notes. Dried cilantro and oregano supply the herbaceous top notes usually carried by cumin and pepper.
Chemical Interactions and Storage
Ground spices contain volatile oils that degrade rapidly when exposed to light and oxygen. Store this blend in an airtight glass jar away from direct sunlight to preserve aromatic compounds for up to three months. Whisk the powders thoroughly before bottling. Uneven distribution leads to pockets of concentrated sea salt or overpowering garlic powder in single uses.
- If the mixture clumps due to humidity, pass the powders through a fine-mesh sieve before sealing.
- Double the batch size easily by maintaining the exact 1-to-4 and 1-to-2 ratios outlined in the ingredient proportions.
- Keep the storage container completely dry to prevent moisture from activating the dried herbs prematurely.
