yeah watch out for the hydrogenated oil as it is a carcinogen..

its funny i was just at the market today trying to figure out how i could make taco meat and looking at the seasonings, i noticed that the taco bell brand mix says "soybean oil" instead of hydrogenated oil, so maybe thats a better bet.. if you like taco bell meat already that is..

i also saw a mcormick ranch "mexican seasoning mix" that was just seasoning, no sugar, no oil, just all the cayenne and everything else, so maybe try that?

i ended up buying the taco bell brand one (it was cheaper) although it had a very minute amount of sugar, it still only had like 3 carbs per serving..
