DIY: Chili and Taco Seasoning

It was one of my good friend's birthday last month. She too is a keen cook so I decided to give her something food-related. I always want to make spice mixes I find on pinterest but I feel like many of them would be a lot of fun to make and then never be used. But then I found chili and taco mix! Starzy cooks for her house every week and I am sure she has done tacos and chili before - ie, a mix she would actually use! It's also good for her as it's not common to have a whole load of spices in a student house..

I got the recipe from My Baking Addiction and just substituted the onion powder with more garlic powder as I didn't have any. I also halved the chili flakes as I used some from my uncle's garden which are DANGEROUSLY hot!

4 tbsp of chili powder
tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
tsp onion powder
1/2-1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons paprika
3 teaspoons sea salt
4 teaspoons black pepper



Simply mix all ingredients together!

  4. I have those cute little jars and now I know what to put in them :) I will try your mix, the last one I tried wasn't my favorite. I would like to invite you to link this post up in my Pantry, a Mason jar linky. These jars will qualify too. http://www.familyhomeandlife.com/2012/08/the-pantry-for-mason-jar-monday.html
