Notes
- Oregano: Regular oregano has more of a Mediterranean flavor, while Mexican oregano is more citrusy. It's also a bit more pungent.
- Sodium: This spice blend contains a decent amount of sodium, primarily because of the 2 teaspoons of sea salt. If you're watching your sodium intake, feel free to reduce the amount of sea salt you use, or use a low or no sodium sea salt.
- Storage: Store prepared taco seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. If stored properly, seasoning will keep up to 12 months.
