This recipe has at least twice the salt that it needs for my taste. I will make it again without the salt in Potion 19, then season to taste.

I leave the salt out entirely and just rely on the sodium from the broth. Then it's far better than those seasoning packets. As written it's way too salty. I've used this recipe with ground turkey and my family of beef eaters don't even notice that it's not beef. I'll often make up a big batch of the taco potion and use it in chili, fajitas, or enchiladas

I have a family member that now has a soy allergy and the prepared taco seasonings in the grocery contain that ingredient. So I have had to find quick home made meals that are also delicious. This recipe has become one of our family favorites.

Taco Potion is Delicious ... however recipe is too salty. I don't use any salt in the taco potion, adding only salt/pepper to taste before serving. Have also used chicken stock when I didn't have beef stock on hand and was still very good. Use with Alton's guacamole recipe for a bonus YUM!

Don't know how this one got 5 stars. I added 1/2 the amount of salt called for and still had to throw it away.

This is my favorite ground beef taco recipe for sure! I only add one teaspoon of salt for the entire recipe and use kitchen basics unsalted broth and I think it's perfect. I have made this with ground turkey and even firm tofu and its wonderful... Love it!!! ( I use sweet paprika not smoked because I'm not a fan of smoked paprika

The taco seasoning mix is now my favorite. After trying it, I want to have this mix on hand for all of my taco recipies and may even use it the next time I do chili. Thanks! (sorry for the additional comment we use lite salt in our household only and if you lessen the salt a tad and use Lite Salt it is perfect!

Excellent! I am a salt junkie but thought it a bit too salty. Heed the recipe and use "low sodium" beef broth. I'm sure that is where I made my mistake as I had only regular on hand. Other than that, really good. I make a double batch so I'll have it on hand. My family loved it too!

I don't care for the chili powder if you don't want your tacos to taste like chili substitute for a half a can of enchilada sauce or whole can for 2 LB

I have always hated the idea of "now toss in a packet of taco seasoning..." That never seemed like cooking to me. This was wonderful! I didn't see the complaints about the salt until after I made the Potion, so I just ommitted the salt later. Next time I'll only do half the salt in the Potion and salt the sirloin, as two teaspoons were just fine. I was really impressed.
