MEXICAN SEASONING BLEND RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 tablespoons New Mexico chile powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:
1 ) Combine the ingredients in an airtight 8-ounce mason jar. Seal and shake until well mixed. Store in a cool, dry, dark place.
2 ) For maximum freshness and potency, it is best to store herbs in a sealed airtight container, away from light and heat. Also, moisture can cause caking and other problems, so it’s best to avoid keeping them near the stove or in the refrigerator.
3 ) Replace ground herbs and spices every 6 to 9 months. If the color has faded, most likely so has the flavor. Time to buy fresh ones.
NOTE: Customize your heat level. Add one jalapeño for mild, two for medium and three for hot.
