Servings: 1 (2 tablespoons)
Ingredients
Recipe for 2 tablespoons (the equivalent of one store-bought packet)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
Recipe for Big Batch (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 6 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until combined.
- Use as needed (I recommend 2 tablespoons of seasoning per pound of meat.)
Notes
- I use kosher salt in this recipe, which is a loser flake and not as salty as table salt.
- Most store bought packets include flour, which is used as a thickening agent. If you want to include it in your mix, I recommend a 1/2 teaspoon added into the 2 tablespoons recipe.

- This seasoning mix will store well in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
