Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions:

  1. Measure the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, sea salt, black pepper, and cornstarch into a small mixing bowl, leveling off the measuring spoons for consistency.
  2. Stir the ingredients vigorously with a whisk or fork for about 30 seconds until the blend is a uniform rich brown color and no clumps of garlic or onion powder remain.
  3. Transfer the seasoning mixture into an airtight glass jar and seal tightly to preserve the volatile oils in the spices.
