Equipment

  • 1 airtight container
  • 1 small mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  • Prepare your ingredients. Measure each spice into a mixing bowl. 
  • Stir gently to blend, or seal to container and shake. 
  • Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • You can customize this recipe to your diet by using less salt for a low-sodium diet, removing ingredients you are allergic to or dislike and controlling the spice level. 
  • This recipe can be tweaked with what you have on hand or to your personal taste. Feel free to adjust the ratios to suit your preference. You can also use dried minced garlic or onion instead of powder if you want a little more texture.
  • If you want to reduce the needed ingredients, the only spices on this list I consider optional are black pepper, oregano and onion powder. The rest are more or less essential.
