An easy gluten-free and low carb taco seasoning mix for ground beef that’s perfect for Keto Taco Tuesdays.

I grew up in the Southwest were tacos were a part of life! Of course, authentic tacos back then were made with seasoned shredded chicken or seasoned shredded beef and served in soft or fried corn tortillas. They were quite different than what usually comes to mind when one hears ?Taco Tuesday?, thanks in part to elementary school cafeteria lunches and Taco Bell!
What most people know as tacos is ground beef mixed with a taco seasoning packet and stuffed into a yellow preformed taco shell. My mother made tacos this way when she was pressed for time and needed an easy family friendly meal. She browned her ground beef and added a packet of taco seasoning from the store. She layered taco meat, cheese, sour cream, black olives and lettuce into the shells and they were tasty.
Homemade Low Carb Taco Seasoning
The problem with the taco seasoning packets you get in the store, is that they contain sugar and starch and are not gluten-free. You can get a similar flavor with ingredients you already have at home without the sugar, carbs or gluten.

One ingredient I strongly recommend for a more authentic flavor is pure ground chile powder. It?s the ingredient that makes my low carb gluten-free enchilada sauce so good. It?s mandatory in my mind. It?s found in the Mexican aisle in the grocery store. I buy both California Ground Chile Powder and New Mexico Ground Chile Powde...
