Notes
- This spice mix recipe is mild in flavor, but for more spice add in more cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, or chipotle powder.
- To balance out the tart flavor, try adding 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, brown sugar, or cocoa powder.
- Adjust the spice blend to fit your preference. Add in some coriander, smoked paprika, oregano, or even ranch seasoning.
- Try combining different chili powders like ancho, chipotle, and standard chili powder to create a more complex seasoning blend.
