1. Is Taco Seasoning 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.

Most store-bought taco seasonings are not keto friendly. However above in the printable recipe card, you will find keto taco seasoning!
