What it is
This is a blend of organic spices and herbs designed to impart a classic taco flavor. It typically includes chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano. The organic certification means the ingredients are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It comes in a convenient packet for easy use in various dishes.
