It pulls together in 2's!
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder (oh go ahead, addr 3 or 4 if you love garlic!)
- 2-3 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cumin, ground
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or "red pepper" (start and adjust up, we like more, way more!)
- 2 teaspoons salt (begin with 1 teaspoon, although adjust sodium level to your needs)
Mix all spices together in a decent sized bowl, stirring to mix thoroughly. Taste. Adjust. This is where you really begin to customize it to your individual tastes, to fit your family and your cooking needs! We like to take it a little more garlicky, and hotter!
Do you like more garlic, add more!
Too little salt, add sparingly!
Is it spicy enough? Add more red or cayenne pepper. We like tons - cayenne is SO good for you!
Want a richer chili flavor, up the cumin
