1/2 tsp of Garlic power
1/4 tsp of dried minced onion or onion powder
A pinch of Cumin (to taste)
1/8 tsp Cayenne pepper

Seasoning Tip!: Try to stay away from store bought guacamole and package taco seasonings. When you make your own seasonings, you know exactly what is in your mixture and no extra carbs can be added. It is a lot healthier and even more delicious.
