Quick and easy low carb taco seasoning.
This low carb taco seasoning is a tad on the spicy side. If you do not care for spicy foods, simply reduce or omit the cayenne pepper. Use 4 tablespoons of seasoning for each pound of meat used. To make taco meat, simply brown the ground beef, ground turkey or meat of choice and drain excess grease. Add 2/3 cup water and 4 tablespoons of the low carb taco seasoning, reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

October 15, 2013 at 4:28 amI don’t undersand how you get 17 net carbs for this recipe. Where are they coming from. Also, the calorie count is for what?
Kyndra Holley says
October 15, 2013 at 7:30 pmThe calories and the carbs come from the spices themselves. The 17 net carbs is for the entire batch.

January 18, 2014 at 11:00 pmI’m a little confused about the 17g carbs, too, as it says “per serving”???
Lori says
June 25, 2014 at 4:45 amIs this mixture of spices for one pound of ground beef or more than one? If more than one, how much for one pound? That’s a LOT of spices for one pound. Just checking….thanks!

July 18, 2014 at 7:44 amServing size is “One batch”- how full would it fill a standard sized mason jar? Just wondering if I should double or triple the recipe. 🙂

July 18, 2014 at 10:22 amYou could probably triple it to store in a mason jar. 🙂

April 17, 2016 at 12:11 pmThe whole batch looks to be about 19.5 teaspoons or 6 1/2 Tablespoons. Using 4 Tablespoons (12 teaspoons) per 1 pound of beef would be about 10.5 carbs. Maybe use 3 Tablespoons at close to 8 carbs.

April 3, 2017 at 5:27 pmYeah, I input everything into My Fitness Pal, using 6 tbsps per batch, and it came out to 23 net carbs. Really unsure where I went wrong here.
Kelly says
April 3, 2017 at 7:29 pmAh, never mind. Found my problem. The garlic powder I chose from the database had a falsely huge number of carbs for some reason. Fixed.
Terrie says
October 10, 2016 at 10:12 amI would never have thought to count carbs in spices. Quite an eye opener!

May 28, 2018 at 11:58 pmHi, in the description you mention cayenne pepper but it’s not in the ingredient list. Just to make you aware. 🙂

January 30, 2019 at 7:58 pmThank you Kyndra for ALL your beautiful recipes. I’ve been doing Keto for a few months now, but only about 90% . I realise by doing this I’m only cheating on MYSELF, so going to get SERIOUS NOW as I know it works for weight loss also for better health. Also I won’t feel as though I’m cheating on your ability to try to help us in having better health.
Thank you for ALL the work you put into doing these recipes, LOVE majority of what you have since we all have a little something or other that we don’t like.

May 9, 2019 at 5:37 pmI love this recipe and want to make more than one batch at a time. However, when you double or triple the recipe, the last three ingredients remain at 1/2 tsp. Is that intentional. Have you ever made more than three servings at a time, at what quantity do you increase the last three ingredients?
★★★★★
Kyndra Holley says
May 10, 2019 at 6:55 amYes, you can double and triple the batch. For double, each ½ teaspoon ingredient would be 1 teaspoon. For triple, use 1 ½ teaspoons.
