I love that you’re highlighting elevated taco recipes for Cinco de Mayo instead of the same old basic versions—vegan and salad taco twists are such a smart way to cater to all dietary preferences at a celebration. I’ve been experimenting with baked whole-grain taco shells lately to make festive eats feel gentler on my digestion, and it’s made such a nice difference. Do you have any go-to low-sodium taco seasoning swaps you’d recommend?

I often make my own taco seasoning with a blend of spices and limit the salt content.
