For the last week, we are going to focus on the last of the Salty Six - Burritos & Tacos.

Did you know that two teaspoons of packaged taco seasoning can have up to 411 mg of sodium? There are so many ways to build a burrito or taco with less sodium and big flavor. Instead of store-bought seasoning, you can make your own by combining 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin, oregano, chili powder and garlic powder for a total of 42 mg of sodium. You can also cut the sodium in these foods by adding more veggies and reducing the amount of meat and cheese.

Action Step:

Treat yourself with a veggie-packed burrito or taco using low sodium ingredients and work to meet your final week’s goal!

Action Step:
