Calories: 53kcal
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons chili powder
- 5 tablespoons ground cumin
- 5 tablespoons garlic powder
- 5 tablespoons onion powder
- 5 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 3 tablespoons dried oregano
- 4 tablespoons salt, finely ground
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper, ground optional*
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients in a large mason jar or container with a lid. Close and shake to mix the spices evenly.
- Store in a cool, dry, dark place when not in use.
- When ready to use, shake the jar or mix to make sure nothing has settled. Add 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of seasoning for every 1 pound of meat while cooking.*
Notes
*This is a mildly spicy mix. Decrease the cayenne to eliminate any spice or increase by 1/2 to make it spicy.
*For saucier meat, add half the spices while browning the meat. Reserve the remaining and add it with 2 tablespoons of water after cooking, stir and then simmer over low until thickened.
*This can be used for ground chicken or turkey as well.
