NOTE: Although this is a low carb taco seasoning recipe, it is not a no-carb recipe. All powdered ingredients like chile powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper are going to have carbs. But, since this recipe does not contain the milk powder, sugar, or starch (often found in store bought products), it’s much lower in total carbs.
That equates to 1 tsp per person. My low carb taco seasoning recipe yields about ¼ cup of seasoning and can be used to season 1 – 2 pounds of ground beef (enough to feed 6-12 people). It really depends on how much flavor you want. Keto Taco Seasoning is 1 carb per 2 teaspoons or .5 carbs per 1 teaspoon.
If you normally make ground beef tacos and season it with one of those “taco seasoning mix” packets, you’re going to love this recipe. If you like it extra hot, you can customize and kick it up a few notches; if you want to keep it mild for the kids in the family (or yourself), you can keep it cool so everyone enjoys your delicious tacos.
Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan. Add 1 pound of ground beef and fry until browned, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tbsp of the taco seasoning and 2 tbsp of tomato puree plus ½ cup / 120ml of beef broth / chicken broth. Stir, then simmer until the liquid has evaporated.
