Spice up your lunch routine with these smokey falafel burgers! Smoked paprika is a less spicy and sweeter variety of cayenne pepper, and adds a unique flavor to this Mediterranean classic.

From Emeril's New New Orleans Cooking. This is a fairly basic seasoniong mix. If you want hotter, decrease the paprika and increase the cayenne. I wouldn't mess with the black pepper amount, however, since that will change the texture and color of the mix.
