Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano*
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch of granulated sugar (or Splenda)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a spice grinder and grind for 10-15 seconds. Makes 6 tablespoons.
- For best results, store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark place like a cupboard. Use within 6 months up to 1 year.
Notes
*Mexican oregano has a more herbal, licorice-like flavor with citrusy undertones compared to Italian oregano which has more minty undertones. Either one works great in this recipe.
For best results, use the seasoning within 6 months to a year. Spices lose their potency over time. Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dark place like a cupboard to help preserve it for the maximum amount of time. Use silica gel packets to prevent clumping.
