Tex-Mex Spices

Tex-Mex spices are a blend of seasonings commonly used in Tex-Mex cuisine, a fusion of Texas and Mexican flavors. They typically include cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, and sometimes cayenne or black pepper. These spices create a warm, smoky, and mildly spicy profile that enhances dishes like tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas. The combination balances bold, savory, and slightly spicy notes, giving Tex-Mex its distinctive flavor. The blend can vary by recipe or personal preference but generally aims to evoke the rich, hearty taste associated with this regional style.
