Feel free to adjust the spices to your tastes. We use closer to 1 teaspoon of cayenne for spicier tacos. Chipotle powder is a nice swap from cayenne as it adds a little heat with a bit of a smoky flavor.
Regular paprika may be swapped for smoked paprika.
Mexican oregano is preferred to regular, but both work.
Nutrition Information: We calculated this based on using 3 tablespoons of seasoning per 1 pound of beef. We then divided that into 4 servings. Each serving is about 2 1/4 teaspoons of seasoning.
