Ingredients

Scale

Spices

  • 3 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp chipotle chili powder (or cayenne)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Optional

  • 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder (adds depth without sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Tools: Collect a small bowl and whisk or fork, or alternatively a jar with a tight lid to mix the spices thoroughly.
  2. Combine All Spices: Measure and add all the spices into your chosen mixing vessel, ensuring all quantities are accurate for balanced flavor.
  3. Mix or Shake: Use a whisk or fork to stir until the mixture is uniform and reaches a deep reddish-brown color, or if using a jar, shake vigorously for 30 seconds to blend well.
  4. Store or Use: Use the seasoning immediately in your chili or other recipes, or store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months, with optimal flavor within the first 3 months. Consider doubling or tripling the recipe for pantry convenience.
