Q&A on Homemade Taco Seasoning
In this section I will review all of your questions on recipes for taco seasoning.
As a reminder the above homemade taco seasoning can be used on tofu, ground meat, pre-cooked shredded chicken, and even as a rub for steak or chicken.
1. Is Taco Seasoning Gluten Free?
Taco seasoning is not usually gluten-free, not the store-bought kind at least. I recommend making your own taco seasoning homemade if you’re looking to reduce gluten from your diet.
The recipe above for homemade taco seasoning is gluten-free!
2. Is Taco Seasoning Low Carb?
Taco seasoning is low carb! But it also depends what you put it on. If you use the taco seasoning recipe, make shredded chicken tacos with it, and use several tortillas, that would not be low-carb.
I recommend having a taco salad, or using lettuce to make taco wraps as opposed to using tortillas.
You can also use corn tortillas to help reduce carbs, or low carb tortillas.
3. What’s in Taco Seasoning?
Taco seasoning usually combines chili powder, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and a number of other herbs.
An old chef friend of mine gave me his secret ingredient, which is surprisingly… Italian seasoning!
Using Italian seasoning will help you get all of the extra herbs into your recipes for taco seasoning, and will save you some money.
4. How do you make Keto Taco Seasoning?
Most store-bought taco seasonings are not keto friendly. However above in the printable recipe card, you will find keto taco seasoning!
Most store-bought taco mix will have corn starch. If you are on a keto diet you will want to avoid that.

You should add water to your taco seasoning, it will help to evenly distribute your seasoning, and also add moisture to your tacos.
You can also use chicken or vegetable broth… or beer!

The only difference between fajita seasoning, and taco seasoning, is garlic. So yes, as long as you like garlic you can absolutely use fajita seasoning for taco seasoning.
9. Can I use Taco Seasoning on Fajitas?
Taco seasoning and fajita seasoning are very similar! The only difference is garlic.
If you want to use my homemade taco seasoning to make fajitas, simply add in 2 chopped garlic cloves when you add in the spices.
10. How much Taco Seasoning do I need for 3 Pounds of Meat?
For each pound of meat, you will need 2 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning, or store-bought taco seasoning.
