Four Chile Peppers for Deep, Smoky Taco Flavor

What makes Somethin' To Taco Bout different from a basic taco seasoning packet is its carefully layered chile foundation.

Rather than depending on one generic chile powder, the blend combines four distinct peppers:

  • Ancho: Contributes rich, earthy chile character.
  • Guajillo: Adds another layer of complex pepper flavor.
  • Chipotle Morita: Brings smoky depth to the seasoning.
  • New Mexico Lumbre: Contributes warm chile character and spice.

Together, these peppers create a savory, smoky foundation that works across tacos, grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and other dishes.

Cumin, Oregano & Garlic Build Savory Depth

A good taco seasoning needs more than chile peppers alone.

Somethin' To Taco Bout combines cumin, oregano, granulated garlic, and granulated onion to create the warm, savory character that makes taco seasoning so useful in everyday cooking.

The result is a balanced blend that complements beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, tofu, beans, and vegetables without relying on excessive salt.

Cocoa, Annatto & Cinnamon Add Unexpected Complexity

This seasoning includes several ingredients that help distinguish it from ordinary taco blends.

Cocoa powder contributes depth, annatto adds subtle rounded warmth and color, and cinnamon provides a restrained background note.

These ingredients work alongside the chiles and savory spices to create a more layered flavor without making the seasoning taste sweet or dessert-like.

Gluten-Free Taco Seasoning Without Unnecessary Fillers

Somethin' To Taco Bout is identified by B.T. Leigh's as gluten-free and made without fillers such as corn flour.

Instead of relying on filler ingredients, the blend focuses on chile peppers, herbs, and spices to deliver its distinctive flavor.

For shoppers looking for a gluten-free taco seasoning with a more ingredient-focused approach, this blend offers a flavorful alternative to conventional seasoning packets.

Low-Sodium Seasoning That Puts Flavor First

Too much salt can overpower the natural flavor of meat, vegetables, and beans.

B.T. Leigh's describes Somethin' To Taco Bout as a low-sodium seasoning designed to deliver savory flavor through its blend of chiles, cumin, garlic, oregano, and other spices.

Season your food first, taste, and add salt separately if desired. This approach gives you greater control over the finished dish.

Perfect for Taco Tuesday & Weeknight Dinners

Whether you're cooking for family or preparing a quick meal after work, Somethin' To Taco Bout makes it easy to bring complex taco seasoning flavor to the table.

Use it with ground beef, ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles for tacos. It also works well in burrito bowls, rice bowls, and other meals where a warm, smoky, savory seasoning is welcome.

The manufacturer's suggested starting point is approximately 2 tablespoons of seasoning per pound of ground meat or plant-based crumbles, adjusting to taste.

Use It as a Dry Rub for Grilling

Somethin' To Taco Bout is not limited to tacos.

Its chile-forward flavor profile makes it a practical dry rub for grilled chicken thighs, skirt steak, pork, shrimp, and other proteins.

Apply it before grilling or roasting to add smoky, savory seasoning without needing a separate marinade or complicated spice mixture.

Great for Vegetables, Beans & Plant-Based Meals

Because the seasoning is vegan-friendly, it can be used across a wide variety of plant-based dishes.

Try it with black beans, roasted cauliflower, sheet pan vegetables, tofu, or breakfast potatoes.

Its combination of warm chiles, cumin, garlic, and oregano adds savory depth without relying on meat-based ingredients.
