Well looks like this is breaking containment, to answer a few common questions / comments.
This is a homemade version of the Taco Seasoning that's commonly found in US stores, it's not authentic, it's typically used for white people tacos and not something like carne asada or suadero etc. I should've shown a store-bought version first to make that distinction!
Cayenne is not the spiciest chile, but it's spicier than a jalapeño or serrano (30k – 50k Scoville). Replacing the 3 Tbsp of chili powder in this recipe with 3 Tbsp of cayenne would make it considerably more spicy. Eat a teaspoon or two of cayenne pepper and let me know if it's spicy though!
Btw for my 'europeans' out there. When you get Americans complaining under your recipes about things being "not seasoned" this melange of dry powders is what they're talking about
Throw some new Mexico hatch green Chili powder in there too, it has a particular depth of flavor that helps most things a lot.
Also, dont let people tell you it has to be authentic to be good. I'm sardinian, and know the traditional cooking methods, but that doesnt stop me from getting carbone sauce when I want to be lazy!
So, the seasoning is made of things we don't use for our tacos, like, why we should put some of these in our tacos?? Just put some sauce and lemon and you got it.

TACO seasoning that's orange….hmm, is this what the TACO man uses? 😅
Powder for tacos?, i think you should use sauces or something like that
I’m so sorry, but what is taco seasoning?
Tajin instead of citric acid, msg instead of salt, and DRY ROAST THE CUMIN! (So delicious)
Crystallized lime juice instead of citric acid.
The real horus heresy was when he refused to kiss the Emperor.
Would you be able to omit the salt for a lower sodium version ?
This guy is the only sane vegan on YouTube lol

I’d suggest moving one of those tbs of chilli to the cumin. 2 of each
I generally do adobo, cayenne, paprika, and ancho chili powder
Every good taco seasoning needs a bit of cinnamon
Missing that brown sugar
Ive never seen mcg or citric acid at the stores is there a special store i have to go to buy it?
