Taco Seasoning

Tacos are a fun easy dinner. Sure the sour cream and cheese aren't the greatest for you, but you can buy low fat sour cream (or even better, use plain greek yogurt) and choose low fat cheese. One of the killers of a taco dinner is the salt in the taco seasoning mix. This seasoning recipe is considerably lower in salt, and is made of panty staples.

1 tablespoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

Mix ingredients together in a small bowl and store in an airtight container.

p.s. If you find you don't have any of these seasonings on hand... BUY THEM... they are staples you will use a lot if you keep using Healthy Plate recipes! :)

p.p.s. I think I just came up with another blog opportunity- pantry staples!
