Notes
No taco seasoning package? Make your own taco seasoning mix using our recipe.
The cayenne pepper addition is optional, you can also opt to use a lesser heat 100% chili powder, like chipotle powder (will provide a smoky heat, easily three times less spicy at minimum than cayenne pepper powder).Â
