- *In the USA and Canada, chili powder is a blend of spices with very little heat. Everywhere else, chili powder is just pure dried and ground chiles and it's definitely hot. This recipe is using American chili powder.
- Adjust the spice level by increasing, decreasing, or omitting the red pepper flakes.
- Use two to three tablespoons to season each pound of chicken or other meat.
- Be sure to label and date your homemade seasoning blends.
- Store the chicken taco seasoning in a cool, dark place such as a pantry, drawer, or cabinet.
- Use the taco spice within 6 months for optimum flavor.
