It typically includes a mix of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt. Some variations might also include black pepper, red pepper flakes, and dried herbs. This seasoning mix provides a savory, slightly spicy, and aromatic flavor profile that enhances the taste of taco fillings.
