Packaged taco seasoning can be a source of hidden gluten. Make your own gluten free taco seasoning mix with gluten free spices and herbs, to have on hand when you need it.

No CUMIN!, Member Gracesmumma

Thanks for posting this! In the store I have found gluten free taco seasonings...however, they have cumin in them. I have found that eating recipes (chili and other mexican food) with cumin bothers my stomach...My sister does not have a gluten intolerance but has other food allergies and cannot eat cumin. My boyfriend LOVES tacos, and I don't feel like making a second meal for myself. I added a little extra chili powder to spice it up a little!
