🌶️ Ingredients and substitutes
This recipe uses only 8 simple ingredients. Below I’ve included some explanations and possible substitutes if you can’t find some of the main ingredients.
Chili powder. Ancho chili powder is used In traditional taco seasonings, however according to Monash University ancho chili powder is not low fodmap, which is why I’m using regular chili powder. It’s very important to use pure chili powder. Most of the American packaged chili powders have added other ingredients like onion and garlic. Make sure to use 100% pure chili powder or if you can’t find it then substitute for 100% pure cayenne powder.
Dried oregano.
Dried chives. The chives give that onion flavor and are quite important, If you can’t find dried chives you can substitute them with ½ teaspoon asafoetida powder.
Ground Cumin.
Smoked paprika. I highly recommend using smoked paprika because of the deep smoked flavor that it provides however if you can’t find smoked paprika I would suggest substituting it with regular paprika.
Red Chili flakes
Sea Salt & ground Black pepper.
How to make it
To make it simply mix all the spices in a small bowl and there you have your homemade taco seasoning!

No, El Paso Taco seasoning contains ingredients high in FODMAPS. I only recommend using certified low-fodmap taco seasonings. You can read some of the seasonings I recommend in this article above. Normally you should lock for some label that says certified low FODMAP or check the Monash App to see which ones are certified by them.
Most American packaged chili powders have added other ingredients like onion and garlic, which makes them high in FODMAPs. Only 100% chili powder is low FODMAP, so check the ingredients of the chili powder you are buying and buy only the 100% pure chili powder.
