Cuisine: Mexican

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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all ingredients to a spice grinder and grind for 10-15 seconds. Makes 6 tablespoons.
  2. 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.
