Don’t Forget To Get Gluten-Free Taco Seasoning!

April 21, 2022April 21, 2022 christyaustin1680

I have mentioned this before, but be careful of gluten found in seasonings.

For those that are quite sensitive to gluten, you’d be surprised how many seasoning are not gluten-free.

My suggestion to you, is to to on Amazon and get a bulk order of gluten-free seasoning.

In our home, we use this McCormicks Gluten-free Taco Seasoning quite often. So it just makes sense to have it on hand.

This 12-pack is only $16.99, which is a great deal for a great brand.

Also, add this seasoning to your food storage too, it’s one that lasts for a while too.

What are some of your favorite gluten-free seasonings?

Would love to hear!
