Extra Bites of Wisdom: Skip the Store-Bought Taco Seasoning

Most store-bought taco seasoning mixes are loaded with preservatives, added sugars, anti-caking agents, and even MSG. Plus, they’re often high in sodium and use generic spice blends that lack real flavor.

Make Your Own Instead

Here’s an easy DIY mix you can throw together in seconds:

  • 1 tbsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • ÂĽ tsp cayenne (optional)

  • ½ tsp salt + a crack of black pepper

Mix and store in a jar. Boom—clean, customizable, and way more delicious

Try one of this week’s taco recipes and make it your own—whether it’s your Tuesday night go-to or a fun weekend spread with friends. Want to level it up? Make your own seasoning and skip the fillers.

And don’t forget—this isn’t just about tacos. It’s about building simple, nourishing meals you actually look forward to eating.

See you next Friday for more plant-based inspiration.

Until then, eat well and live better.
