Prep Time 3 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp Chili powder
  • 2 tbsp Cumin
  • 2 tbsp Paprika
  • 2 tbsp Oregano
  • 2 tbsp Garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • pinch Crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and mix together. Continue stirring until the blend comes together into an even mixture and the clumps of cornstarch are broken up and well distributed.

  2. Transfer the seasoning blend to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place.

  3. To make tacos, add two tablespoons of seasoning to cooked meat or veggie filling, along with 1/2 cup of water. Stir to coat everything evenly in seasoning and simmer for a few minutes until some of the water has evaporated and the mixture has thickened.
