Instructions
- In a bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Notes
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken seasoning.
- The limeade can be prepared in advance, but add the sparkling water just before serving to maintain carbonation.
- Experiment with additional toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor and texture.
