For a smoky depth, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika along with the cumin and chili powder. Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your spice preference. Start with less and add more to taste. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, chopped green onions, and crunchy tortilla strips for a festive presentation. Serve with warm cornbread for a complete and satisfying meal.
