Sorting out my dinner for tomorrow, lettuce tacos

Does anyone know of any mild mexican type spices to use for my mince, either free or not too high in syns.

Personally, when doing mexican I would use paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano, chilli powder (to taste), onion, garlic and salt. I would also use a squidge of lime. That's mexican to me, as cajun is different, although equally tasty!

I do a similar mixture to shrimpy. I tend to use fresh chilli's where possible though instead of chilli powder, as I find you just don't get the same flavouring from chilli powder.

Also if you want it a bit more spicy (I do) add a bit of cayenne pepper. But you only need a tiny bit, don't go mad. I normally add about 1/4 of a teaspoon at a time, taste and then add more if needed.
