Buffalo Lime Taco Lettuce Wraps

I never noticed before all of the junk that is in normal taco seasoning, so this recipe caused me to go on a hunt for a "healthy way" to season tacos...
When I read the ingredients for store bought taco seasonings, I noticed there was sugar, flour, corn starch, several assorted "gums", and preservatives and artificial flavors.  Since I am on a mission to avoid, excess junk in my food, I decided to figure out a better way.
After cooking the buffalo meat, I squeezed about 1/2 cup of lime juice on it to give it a kick.
Then I mixed in chili powder, garlic powder, dried onions, cumin, salt and pepper. It takes a lot of seasoning for the meat to catch on to the flavor, so it all totaled about 1/4 cup.
These tacos were great. For toppings, we added onion, cilantro, sour cream, cheese, and fresh tomatoes.
