Anyone make their own Mexican seasoning?

That sounds really good. Could you also make your own cayenne powder that way?

For tacos I usually use a mix of cumin and chili powder plus whatever else I have on hand that looks good at the moment. Usually red pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, and maybe some cayenne. I very much eyeball/smell/taste test it.

Heavy chili powder, plus paprika, cumin, garlic, onion, cayenne, salt

And a few chopped chipotle peppers in adobe sauce gives a great smoked heat

My wife uses this for tacos. Its better than any of the store bought packets of taco seasoning. It doesn't look like enough salt, but is comes out great.
