Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup (30 g / 1.06 oz) chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons (14 g / 0.49 oz) ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon (7 g / 0.25 oz) smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons (12 g / 0.42 oz) salt
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g / 0.07 oz) ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon (3 g / 0.11 oz) garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon (3 g / 0.11 oz) onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon (1 g / 0.04 oz) dried oregano leaves
  • Use 2 tablespoons of seasoning per 1 pound / 450g (15.9 oz) of ground meat.
  • For a spicier kick, add ½ to 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) of cayenne pepper or chipotle powder to the mix.
  • To intensify the flavors, 'bloom' the seasoning by toasting it in the pan with a little oil for 30 seconds before adding your meat or vegetables.
  • This blend isn't just for tacos! Try it on roasted vegetables, popcorn, grilled chicken, or as a rim for a spicy margarita.
