Allergen free taco seasoning and wheat and corn free "taco" salad

My family loves tacos, and just about anything with "taco" flavoring on it. However most store bought taco seasonings have so many additives or milk and wheat that it is hard to find one if you have food allergies. So, after checking out many homemade ones I finally came up with one we like and will stick with.
Easy Allergen free taco seasoning
1tbsp chili powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
    Mix all and store in a container or shaker. This makes about as much as you will find in a store bought packet.

Now it is pretty simple to make tacos or taco salad for people with food allergies by just replacing the taco shells or chips with something that person can have, but if you like these dishes a lot it can get a little pricey and sometimes the available substitutes just aren't that great tasting. So this last month as I was in save save save mode I decided to try something different. I used sweet potatoes instead of chips in a taco salad. The hubby and kids liked it and I think I will make taco salad this way from now on.
"Taco" salad 
4 to 5 large sweet potatoes
taco seasoning
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 c leftover cooked shredded chicken (turkey, ham or leftover roast work just as well)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp onion and just a pinch more brown sugar
   Wash and cut up your sweet potatoes, you can slice them like you would for a chip, or cube them like you would for thanksgiving, whatever you prefer. Toss them with just enough olive or canola oil to coat then add your tacos seasoning, toss, add brown sugar and toss once more. Bake at 400 for about 15 to 25 min, turning as needed,  depending on how you cut your potatoes and how high or low your oven cooks. When the potatoes are about done  Take out your leftover meat and shred it up and put it in a frying pan with a little water or oil. Sprinkle with the Cumin and Onion and the pinch of brown sugar, stir well and heat through.
You can serve this all combines, potatoes, lettuce, meat, tomatoes or, just put everything in separate bowls and let people add what they can eat or like.

Enjoy!
