Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
Instructions
- Step 1: Gather Spices
Measure out all your dry ingredients. Ensure your spices are fresh and haven’t been sitting in the back of the pantry for years, as the oils in the spices provide the best flavor when fresh.
- Step 2: Combine and Mix
Place all the ingredients into a small mixing bowl. Use a small whisk or a fork to stir them together until the color is uniform and there are no large clumps of garlic or onion powder left.
- Step 3: Transfer to Storage
Carefully pour the spice mixture into a small glass jar or an airtight container. If you have a small funnel, it makes this process much cleaner and prevents spills.
- Step 4: Seal and Label
Tighten the lid on your container. Label it with the name and the date so you always know what is in your spice rack and how long it has been there.
