Ah, tacos…so delicious, yet so not AIP-friendly. Luckily, we have managed to create a taco seasoning blend that can help you enjoy your favorite recipes while following the autoimmune protocol.
The use of herbs traditionally used in Mexican cooking like oregano and cilantro, blended with garlic, onion and turmeric spices help inspire a variety of AIP-friendly Mexican dishes like taco salads or Southwest chicken. Hope you enjoy!

Recipe Notes
We typically use about 1-2 tsp of seasoning per 1 lb meat, so this should yield at least 2 dishes.
You can scale the recipe very easily just by increasing proportions accordingly.

Thank you for the invitation, Eileen! I just added my link – I’m excited to be a part of this week’s roundtable!
This was so tasty!! Thanks so much for sharing. It’s great to have mixes like this that add flavor without nightshades. We used it as a rub on skirt steak, which we grilled and sliced for use in “tacos” (or fajitas). So good!
Faked out my husband tonight. He never noticed the difference from store-bought.
This sounds delicious and I can’t wait to try it. I am just curious if the onion powder is allowed on AIP. I’ve seen some conflicting lists of nightshades. Some contain onion, others do not. Is it different in powder form?
Onions are not nightshades and are allowed on AIP.
This does not taste much like taco seasoning to me. I’m sorry, but I didn’t care for it.
Sorry to hear that, Rachel! Was there anything in particular you didn’t like about it, or just more of the general flavor? Any feedback is welcomed so I can continue improving the recipe. 🙂
