Notes
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.
