Ingredients

Scale

Spices

  • 1/2 cup chili powder
  • 3 tbsp cumin
  • 2 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine spices: Add all the spices — chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and oregano — to a small mixing bowl or a jar.
  2. Mix well: Thoroughly stir the spices in the bowl until evenly combined. If using a jar, secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously to blend the seasoning evenly.
