Tacos and Chili are two classics prepared in most kitchens on regular rotation. When I’m making both, I prefer to make my own seasoning versus buying a seasoning envelope from the store. That’s because no additives are included, I know the spices used, I can control spice and salt levels, and add additional spice(s) based on my likes. I like heat, so I would suggest removing the ancho chili pepper if you’d prefer a mild spice mix closer to the store package.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup chili powder
• 2TSB cumin
• 1TBS paprika
• 2tsp onion powder
• 1tsp garlic powder
• 1tsp cayenne powder
• 1tsp ancho chili pepper
• 4tsp sea salt
• 2tsp ground black pepper

Instructions/Notes

1. Add all ground spices to a mixing bowl.

 

2. Whisk the spices until well combined.

3. Store the seasoning in an airtight container in a dry and cool place.

 

Note: 2 tablespoons of this seasoning mix equals about one packet of store bought seasoning mix.
