Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons Cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano
  • ½ teaspoon Ground coriander
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Cocoa powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Store in a cool dry place until ready to use.
  • Use the full amount (6 tablespoons) per pound of meat.
  • Double or triple the amount for a large batch!

Notes

  • Make a large batch so you don't have to put them together every time you want some enchiladas. It lasts 6 months!
  • Be sure to use a fork or whisk and break up any clumps of the spices so they mix evenly.
  • Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container for best results.
  • Opt to sweet paprika instead of regular or smoked. If you sub it, you can leave out the sugar.
  • This mix is gluten free!
  • Use high quality spices for the best flavor.
