Taco Snack Mix: The Spicy, Snackable, Totally Addictive Low Sodium Snack
Some snacks you eat a handful of and walk away. This isn’t one of them.
Our Taco Snack Mix takes everything you love about a classic party mix (the crunch, the salty-savory craving, the “just one more handful” factor) and gives it a bold taco kick with Lauri Lee’s Ultra Low Sodium Taco Seasoning. It’s spicy, it’s savory, and it disappears fast. Make a double batch. Trust us.
Why Taco Seasoning on Snack Mix?
Taco seasoning was made for more than tacos. Chili, cumin, garlic, and a little heat cling to every nook and cranny of crispy cereal, pretzels, and nuts, turning a simple snack into something you’ll crave.
The problem with most store-bought party mixes and seasoning packets? They’re loaded with salt. Many taco seasoning packets pack hundreds of milligrams of sodium into a single serving. Lauri Lee’s Ultra Low Sodium Taco Seasoning has no salt added and just 3.5mg of sodium per serving, made with all natural ingredients, so you get all the flavor without the sodium overload.
Taco Snack Mix Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 cups crispy corn or rice cereal squares
- 1 cup unsalted pretzels
- 1 cup unsalted mixed nuts or peanuts
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or ¼ cup olive oil)
- 1½ to 2 tablespoons Lauri Lee’s Ultra Low Sodium Taco Seasoning
- Optional: a squeeze of fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment.
- In a large bowl, combine the cereal, pretzels, and nuts.
- Stir the Taco Seasoning into the melted butter (and lime juice, if using).
- Pour the mixture over the snack mix and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread onto the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes, until toasty and fragrant.
- Let cool completely. It gets crunchier as it cools!
Store in an airtight container for up to a week (if it lasts that long).
Tips for the Best Batch
Want more heat? Add an extra half tablespoon of Taco Seasoning or a pinch of cayenne. Keeping sodium low? Use unsalted pretzels and nuts, and check the labels on your cereal, since the mix-ins are where most of the sodium in party mix hides. Make it your own by tossing in toasted pumpkin seeds, corn nuts, or bite-size tortilla chips.

Game day spreads, movie nights, road trips, lunchbox treats, holiday snack tables, and that 3pm “I need something crunchy” moment.
