Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt (or reduced-sodium salt)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
Measure all the ingredients using accurate measuring spoons to ensure consistent taste.
In a small mixing bowl, combine chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), black pepper, and sea salt.
If you prefer your seasoning to act as a thickener for sauces, add the optional cornstarch at this stage.
Stir everything together thoroughly to make sure the spices are evenly distributed.
Transfer the seasoning mix to an airtight container, such as a small glass jar or spice tin.
Label the container with the name and date for reference. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
Use about 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mix per pound of meat or to taste when making tacos, burritos, or other dishes.
