Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Chili powder
- 2 tablespoons Cumin powder
- 1 tablespoon Paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Oregano (dried)
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
Instructions
Measure out all the ingredients into a small mixing bowl or directly into a jar with a lid.
If using a bowl, stir the ingredients together until they’re well combined. If using a jar, secure the lid and shake vigorously to mix.
Taste and adjust seasoning to your preference. For extra heat, increase the crushed red pepper flakes or chili powder. For less salt, reduce the amount of salt added.
Store the seasoning mix in an airtight container or spice jar for up to 6 months. Keep it in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness.
To use: Substitute this mix for any store-bought taco or Mexican seasoning blend. A general guideline is 1-2 tablespoons of seasoning mix per 1 pound of meat or vegetables, adjusting to taste.
