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.

I don’t undersand how you get 17 net carbs for this recipe. Where are they coming from. Also, the calorie count is for what?
The calories and the carbs come from the spices themselves. The 17 net carbs is for the entire batch.
I’m a little confused about the 17g carbs, too, as it says “per serving”???
Is 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!
Please reference the post below the picture “This 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 tbs. 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 Tbs. seasoning, reduce heat to low and let simmer 3-4 minutes until thickened.”
Serving size is “One batch”- how full would it fill a standard sized mason jar? Just wondering if I should double or triple the recipe. 🙂
You could probably triple it to store in a mason jar. 🙂
The 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.
Yeah, 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.
Ah, never mind. Found my problem. The garlic powder I chose from the database had a falsely huge number of carbs for some reason. Fixed.
I would never have thought to count carbs in spices. Quite an eye opener!
Thank you my dear for all you do for all of us…..
Hi, in the description you mention cayenne pepper but it’s not in the ingredient list. Just to make you aware. 🙂
