Equipment

  • Small mixing bowl
  • Storage container

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients until combined.
  • Store in an airtight container or glass jar in a cool dark place like a spice drawer, cabinet, or pantry. Best if used within 3 months.

Notes

  • Be sure your storage container is truly airtight. If it isn't, the spices will lose their flavor quickly, or the mix can clump up in the pantry.
  • Store the jar away from direct light. Sunlight can damage the color and flavor of spices, so it's best to keep them in a drawer or cabinet.
