Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Gather all your spices and measure each ingredient precisely.
  2. Combine all spices in a small mixing bowl.
  3. Use a whisk or spoon to mix the spices thoroughly until uniform in color and texture, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Break apart any clumps by pressing the mix between your fingers or using the back of a spoon.
  5. Transfer the seasoning mix to an airtight container or spice jar and label with the date.
  6. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

Notes

Toast ground cumin and chili powder briefly in a dry pan before mixing to enhance flavor. Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to control heat level. Store seasoning mix in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Add a splash of lime juice after cooking to brighten flavors. Rest seasoned meat before cooking for better flavor infusion.
